The Endless Night.

The darkened stars of an endless night
That threatens to swallow us whole.

The prison ship in the endless void
And the terror that grips us all.

Into the night,
The endless night
We fly into the darkness.
Where we are,
We do not know.
All we want is home.

A day goes by, and then a week,
A month and then a year.

We wait in silence, we wait and watch
As our supplies start to dwindle.

Into the night,
The endless night
We fly into the darkness.
Where we are,
We do not know.
All we want is home.

And then a point, a twinkle of scintillating light
Our hopes start to rekindle

Cybertron is below, our targets set.
We set the Nemesis down.

Into the dawn,
The blue sun rises.
The darkness is over
And we are going home.
Poetry is not my forte. I rarely if ever stop to write something of this nature, however, this is more of a "song" that was written for RP and from Starscream's Point of view. Starscream was aboard the Nemesis, transporting it to Cybertron through a giant space bridge, similar to the one that was used to move Cybertron to Earth. Due to the risks involved, Starscream selected a group of fifteen crew members to help him move the ship. His wingmates were not amongst them. Unfortunately, a problem occurred and it took him over fourteen months to travel.

I may post the short fic that relates to this sometime.

Also, how does one grammar these things?
