In an unending night, <br />You looked out of your window, <br />A dim star I was, <br />But your gaze gave me light. <br /> <br />Shinier than ever before <br />In the light of your love, <br />I challenged the sun. <br />I killed the dark ness, <br />And we grew fonder. <br /> <br />Your heart ached for me, <br />And I came closer to you… <br />We held hands and walked on <br />I was then your beloved lamp. <br /> <br />In a moment of passion, <br />You embraced me with your soul. <br />In your heart I found a new sky. <br />You called me your flame <br />The flame of life. <br /> <br />Now, the journey was yours, <br />I carried on, <br />Giving you warmth and love, <br />My very own blood burned <br />To keep the flame alive. <br /> <br />Your road has reached a dead end <br />You are reluctant to turn back <br />And afraid to jump off. <br /> <br />I can show you no way <br />For there isn’t any. <br />Through all this, <br />I have completely forgotten <br />That once I was a star. <br />And I don’t know what I am now.<br /><br />Ankur Shrivastava<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-missing-star/
