Always Another

There’s always another star

To light up your eyes at twilight

Its flickering, faltering glow

Soon disappears from your sight

There’s always another hand

To hold you while you cry

Its wandering, dubious fingers

Will make your tears go dry

The weight of these years

Won’t leave you unbroken

Your beauty has died

Something else has awoken

There’s always another path

To lead you back to your life

Its jagged and slippery stones

Cut your heels like a knife

There’s always another place

Where all your dreams reside

Though your feet are still free to wander

Your hands are tightly tied
