Love In The Stars


Picture the stages of a shining star,

Many brilliant stages there are in all.

Always hoping the star will travel far,

But like good things it's probable to fall.

In the beginning it is beautiful and bright,

Like a diamond it sparkles and glows.

Everyone around can feel the warm light,

Yet there is a secret pain nobody knows.

The light burns out and soon must end.

Is it worth trying to protect and save?

All of the energy that one must spend?

A beautiful bright star must now be brave,

It has had enouge of delusive strife.

Time to end the awful wonderful life.
