Fallen Star


They could never understand
what u set out 2 do
instead they chose 2
ridicule u


when u got weak
they loved the sight
of your dimming
and flickering starlight


How could they understand what was so intricate
2 be loved by so many, so intimate
they wanted 2 c your lifeless corpse
this way u could not alter the course
of ignorance that they have set
2 make my people forget


what they have done for much 2 long
2 just forget and carry on
I had loved u forever because of who u r
and now I mourn our fallen star
