Running into the stars
February 13, 2011
angry words
twisted frowns
a lonely child watches from afar
her wet eyes implore silently
as she sinks
slowly but surely
into the ground
taken by despair
and she is gone.
Her face upturned
in final moments
to winking stars
why couldnt she be among them? dancing, shining, happy
but too far to be hurt.
