A star lighting up the sky,

flickering at night.

As if it’s got a heartbeat,

full of light.

The beat slows down,

and you wonder why.

What could cause this star,

to cry?

The night fades,

and the star disappears.

You wait for nightfall,

but it isn’t here.

Where did it go?

Why does it’s light no longer burn?

You anxiously wait,

for it’s return.

Then one night,

there it is.

Although the shine it once had,

does not exist.

Sitting there motionless,

never shining again.

Surrounded by the rest,

simply blending in.
