Lonely Stars


When you miss that boy And your nights are derived of joy Do you ever stare at the stars And wonder where you are? What you are doing here With a heart and mind so unclear And a Destiny destroyed by work And a chest crushed by hurt. You relate to those twinkling lights You are searching for a fight You are bored and lonely And not in love but solely Lost in this cycle of lust Round after round of distrust And lies so cold and cruel That you couldn't help but feel like a fool So you search and search the sky Looking for a sign that he didn't lie That he is coming back But you can't take it and you crack And realize you are not a star Because they aren't as lonely as you are.
