starburn

white hot

hail of burning stars

glittering out of view

head first

down the wishing well

need to make your wish come true

never thought

that i’d be chased down hard

by a lifetime

gravity has come to collect on mine

does your star still burn on it’s own?

or did it shiver and fade long ago

i looked up through the lens

all i saw was myself

how can i just be free

when sagitta’s aimed at me

look up now

how long can you feed on hope

praying fantasies will bloom

time swings us against the ropes

with nowhere to fall back to

never thought

that i’d be chased down hard

by a lifetime

gravity has come to collect on mine

does your star still burn on it’s own?

or did it shiver and fade long ago

look up now
