At rest with my eyes set on the night sky
I once had a deep tug of how love felt
With the hope that this spark I felt was nigh
From in the dark of night, one star did shine
The bright star lit her body form, so svelte
My heart was ready to erect a shrine
Hours passed by many in the midst of plans
Then in the light of day, the image of her melt
my heart ached, down my cheeks, tears ran.
