Stars Poem by Vanessa Kingsley

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