sun, you've run astray. what did we do to drive you
away? does some new fear plague that i can't allay?
have you grown weary of shining all day?
it's grown so dark in this place,
since you've been longing for the shade on your face.

how your fate is a burden you'd hope to escape.
but i remember how bright you once shined.
i remember how high you used to climb: you were always
too far for me to hold. would you let me grow old in
this cold? what other world are you trying to find?
are you going to leave me behind? please, don't leave me b
