stars weren't meant to gaze back
the way we'd stare up in the sky
the way we'd adore the canvas black
examine whispers high
imagine if the stars looked down
and stared at each of us
imagine if they made a sound
and said that we're enough
we were meant to look at the stars
and they not in our eyes
a pretty sight from oh afar
to admire at such delight
learn from their brightness that lingers and lasts
but never expect such stars to gaze back.
