Into the Night Sky


I could be a Star...for You

But you didn't want just one. 

You wanted a Sky Full. 

Now I have nothing left 

to shine about, 

be bright for.

 

Star light,

 

There is nothing that lights me up

The way you did.

Never again,

Will I go 

Shooting across the Darkness to meet you. 

No more twinkling Brilliance.

 

Star bright,

 

I was supposed to be

Everlasting

And Radiant. 

Together 

We were a Supernova,

You've turned me

Into a black hole.

 

I wish I may,

 

It was only a wish upon a Star,

Only a wish for a Star.

I whisper to nothingness

As I burn out.

 

I wish I might.

 

How can you

You Gaze up

Into the Night Sky.

And never see me

Disappear?
