The Abyss of Stars

In a heart of stone, they know an emptiness,
where stars brush eternal silence.
They dream of shining, distant, without escape,
but fall into the oblivion of a stern heart.
Yet deep down, a glimmer of hope,
that tries to emerge from the deep darkness.
The stars forgive, and the heart breaks,
but in the twilight, perhaps, a second world is born.
