shining star

he said i was
his shining star
his beacon of light
his radiant girl

i thought he meant
that i was exceptional
extraordinary

but i saw
how he was like the night
on the inside

with his devilish smirk
and unhealthy desires
constant addictions

and i knew i only seemed to shine
because he was so dark
so empty

so i crumbled to dust
in his hands of wrong
the remnants of
a shining star
