Analysis of Tease
bereaved midnight
where are your stars
youre shrouding the light
disperse the somber veil
let me see the craters of your moon-
I feel constricted
without my universe
no galactic wonder
just lonely earth-
its cold without your starbeams
mystery only skyheight
no reminder of infinity
only definitive sight-
unfurl for me
its my night out
I cant be shut in
why whisper me nothings
when youre heir to everything
