One morning
I woke up,
With the stars shining in my face
Amidst the gentle midnight blue sky.
No sun to greet me,
No moon to comfort me.
Not enough light
For me to see.
And I turned around,
Confused
Sad
Shocked.
And I saw him, standing outside my door
Shining with all the radiance
One only could wish for.
He smiled,
Extending his hand
As I reached for it
And the stars grew cold in contempt.
My hand seared,
Burning hot
And the sky,
The gentle sky.
It turned a shade of
Grieving
Grim
Blue.
I turned to look at him
But he was floating away
Carried by the stars,
Glowing
Shining
Beaming.
He fit perfectly in the sky
Like his purpose
Was there
As the moon.
And at that moment I knew
He was never meant for me.
