Pay the Price

Hesper, Guardian of Midnight and Stars

Sit alone in silence,
Listen to the lies,
Pay the price for drying
Your weary, worn out eyes.
Look up to the darkness,
Watch the endless skies,
Hear the dying echo
Left by your desperate cries.
See fear cower in a corner,
Watch it as it dies,
And though you came belatedly,
We've seen your many tries.
