The Star
I’m a star
There’s nothing here like me
If I can see you
That’s only who you were
I’m a star
Understanding what will be
I’m caught in a web
That ties me to my lair
Born from balancing forces
With no apparent sources
The space between is curved and bent
Into collapse it is sent
Divine intervention
A matter of intention?
Or particles merrily playing
Laughing at your praying?
You're always asking why
Trying to see some sense
But why do you laugh or cry
Or dwell in depths or heigts intense
You marvel at my sight
Use me as your guiding light
But I have lost my desperate fight
In an ever changing night
My skin erodes - My heart explodes
While I seem the same to you
Dissolving into nothingness
Until all starts anew
I’m at the a heart of a nebulous cloud
Where matter meets in a weightless crowd
Pulling inwards - afraid of loss
A fusion of fire - lightyears across
If by purpose or built in design
I will sparkle, shimmer and shine
But into darkness I will fall
Lost and forgotten by you all
You're always asking why
Caught in false pretence
Why don’t you take off and fly
You’re living at your own expense
You marvel at my sight
Use me as your guiding light
But I have lost my desperate fight
In an ever changing night
My skin erodes - My heart explodes
While I seem the same to you
Dissolving into nothingness
Until all starts anew
So look at me
And all that you’ll see
Has long since ceased to be
It has long since ceased to be

Stargazing
Talk to me again the way you used to.
Give me the feeling I exist.
And if you do, please don’t let on
that there is something I have missed.
We’re walking side by side through moonlit meadows.
There’s a distant drone we have chosen to ignore.
But something in our heads makes us wonder
why things aren’t what they were before.
No shame,
no pain,
just a minor irritation of the skin.
No clue
what to do
or how to cope with the mess we’re in.
We’re stargazing
And hell-raising
Give us a dance and a tune and we’ll blow up the moon.
We’re sleepwalking
And dream-talking
It really doesn’t look like we’ll wake up anytime soon.
The things you used to tell me seemed to make a lot of sense.
All I’m left with now is some kind of fuzzy remembrance.
The cord has snapped, leaving nothing in its trail
but so much to bewail.
We’re walking side by side through a vale of shadows
ignorant of what is keeping us alive
We’re fiercely bent on our own destruction
and yet determined to survive.
No shame,
no pain,
just a minor irritation of the skin.
No clue
about what to do
or how to cope with the mess we’re in.
We’re stargazing
and hell-raising
Give us a dance and a tune and we’ll blow up the moon.
We’re sleepwalking
and dream-talking
It really doesn’t look like we’ll wake up anytime soon.
