Written in the Stars

Folded and creased, as if this were not the first time
Eraser marks and water stains leave memories of pain
Couldn't even articulate my feelings in my last moments
Seem like such a failure, such a disappointment to all
Words wont even flow when these are my final ones
So let the silence speak its volumes, if it wishes
Take from this what you will, or turn away and forget
My time here like a firefly, flickers then seems to disappear
Forgotten within seconds, until another flicker shines
But in a meadow filled with fireflies, who will notice one?
For, like stars in the night sky, they all can look alike
While some shine brighter, others fade away into dark
And burning sunshine comes to scare them all away
So after one has gone, the light will bring warmth again
People become only memories and life goes on
A melancholy portrait of the night sky, stars or souls
Who knows what became of those missing dots of light
Certain only that dawn will break and morning comes again
