her memories were like the stars

and her memories were like stars
some still shone brightly
others were shrouded by dark clouds
some had extinguished their light completely
crumbling into dust
forever lost

she gazed at some stars every night
with a whimsical smile
others shone their cruel light
right into her heart
and jabbed at ancient memories

those were the stars she hated
and wish they would stop shining
because it hurt
to see them
every night

all of the memories
spread out across the milky way
could never compare
to the sun
her biggest star
her most excruciating memory
filled with heartache and pain
