Twinkle twinkle

One of my best friends wrote this poem a while ago, and i liked it so much that i need to share it with you.

***
twinkle twinkle
little pain
I see you’ve come
to play again

lodged here in my soul so tight
turning brightness into night
twinkle twinkle
tearing ache
please let me sleep
to never wake

now I lay me down to sleep
my life in tatters at my feet
if I should wake before I die
I pray these tattered wings can fly

twinkle twinkle
empathic strain
I never want to feel again
trapped here in this world so cold

twinkle twinkle
falling tear
how i wonder why i'm here

What a great poem! I love it. It's cool how it is somehow funny and sad at the same time. Your friend is talented.

Poignant poem with existential angst.

I have been wondering... you refer to the writer of the poem, as 'he', while it appears to have been posted in 2002 on the deviantART blog of one ladynyk, a girl by all appearances:

I thought that was strange and was hoping that you might be able to clarify it to me.
