• I watched
    As a star fell through the sky.
    A single beat was calling.
    A single suffocating breath
    Passed beyond my lips
    And into the stars.
    I sat alone
    Staring at it.
    Watching it die
    As my heart slowed and stopped,
    Acutely aware as the fire above
    Burst into flames anew.
    I watched it fall,
    Fall through the sky.
    Somewhere the light in my own eyes
    Followed without a thought.
    It left me lying in the dark,
    Dead below the stars.
    Vaguely aware, was I,
    Of my life's passing.
    I'm so sorry
    But I must say
    Goodbye.
