*falling stars in darkness*

you told me
once when we were
younger than now
that i had stars
illuminating my eyes
but yesterday
you told me
my eyes looked
sad
dull
worn
and you asked
what had happened
to the stars in my eyes
and i wanted to tell you
oh how i wanted to say
that they had fallen
hopelessly
for you
with my heart
and had burnt out
shining for something that
refused to brighten
because even the brightest
lights can die
if the darkness is never overcome
