Midnight Words

Stars

You cover your skin

with layers of powder and cream

because you don't like the freckles

on your nose and cheeks

When I tell you its fine

you just roll your eyes and smiles

and say that you don't like them

So I say fine, but I have a question

Does the sky look better empty or with stars?

you say with stars

So I tell you that the freckles are the stars

on the sky of your skin

You say fine and leave them like that

and now my sky is littered with stars

and I wouldn't want it

any other way
