I watched falling stars hit the ground <br />I felt love that was real <br />Saying goodbye shouldn’t have happened <br />Because, perhaps, hello was wrong. <br />Writing that song was so easy <br />Now it’s in my head all day long <br />Across the skyway <br />Stars dance and play <br />But one won’t twinkle like the rest <br />Maybe it’s broken <br />Possibly dead <br />Or is suffering from something else <br />It’s much, much easier to sit and watch <br />The grass is greener <br />The air is cleaner <br />Bu you wonder if this is real? <br />Is it a lie <br />That was created on a second field <br />You only get a few people in your life <br />So you better treat them more than right <br />Fix your mistakes <br />Right your wrongs <br />Life cannot be a love song <br />Dot your i’s and cross your t’s <br />Pray you leave out nothing <br />Close your eyes… <br />Do you dream of me? <br />Gentle music only nurses the cracks <br />That are deep inside of me <br />It’ll be okay, that’s what they’re saying <br />If only I’d seen the signals <br />I sped up when I should’ve slowed down <br />Now my life is flipped upside down <br />No one to blame but myself <br />I already know that… <br />That star I mentioned, now is gone <br />I’m a little sad I can’t see it <br />Maybe it’s hiding from my eyes <br />Or maybe, like me, it has died.<br /><br />Vanessa Kingsley<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/stars-107/
