Chapter VIII: Song for a Stolen Gem

All my musings, they converge to you.
And your ache, it resonates with mine.
Who would fill the void you left?
For not all scars just heal in time.

Shot to fame, and over the moon
got them stars up in your lap.
your tender years were unaware
the price for fame you would have to tap.

For who would lose their own self
In finding what’s not fine?
You strayed from right, you clung to love
Now damage’s done, why whine?

Had ‘What We Have’ And ‘What We Want’
Been not two but one.
You’d known you had your hands full of
For what you’d always yearned.

Torched inside you carried on
that losing game, head high.
Love unusual got your best
Earned you demons, turned you Blind.

They cornered you, curbed your escape.
They silenced all your cries of help.
When you couldn’t contain more pain
Life freed you of all afflictions instead.

If you are a star I’d stay home waiting
For the night you’d shoot from the sky.
I’d wish for you, I’d wish you back
I’d wish you stay all by my side

Now you fly unfettered, free and high
Soaring like those October birds.
Like lullabies to tormented souls
Who’d now voice your poignant words?
