Chapter XI: A Star I Own


 
There's a star I own of a light so bright
it burns all alone and fires up my nights.

Engulfed in flame, it shines in my eyes.
To rest it ain't the same, its beauty they don't prize.

Like an over-beaten story I knew what was to come.
Recalled it in all its glory, in a million it was the one.

As it shoots from the sky dissolving in the dark,
I close both of my eyes battling an ache very stark.

For all the time it shone till it fell from its peak
towards a fate unknown, nights never were this bleak.

A wish of mine it granted in dark as it drowned.
Got all what I ever wanted but forever having it around.

The star I once owned no longer can be seen.
Now I'm left all alone, it's darker than has ever been.
