sitting on the rooftop

here he couldn't hear

his parents' shouts

he watched the sky

watching the last strands of dusk

fade into darkness

watching the stars appear

and knowing that all stars loved the sky

but the sky never loved back

because the sky didn't give a damn

searching for answers in the darkness around him that was light compared to the darkness within him

he knew the sky had all the answers

but it would never reveal them

because the sky didn't give a damn
