Nightly Kin
For me, who sits alone by the windowsill
The moon is my sister, my kin
We both live lonely, dark and ill
Always cold without warmth within
Though we provide light for a journey
Try to lead others towards a pure path
We wash our hands of their destiny
Baring no pride and no wrath
Our hearts only hold bitter sorrow
That and a kind indifference
But it can be true we hold hope for the morrow
Begging silently to be saved, for acceptance
And perhaps one day we will be saved
Our shadows understood, but not shoved away
And we will have our light repaid
But, for now, our light fades in the all too bright day
