As night settled on my mind,
I stare skyward to wish upon stars.
They responded to me in kind,
When I wished not to be so far.
They began to fall to earth with grace,
One by one the sky grew dark.
And from the horizon I saw their face,
Their bright contrast was rather stark.
My heart leapt at the sight-
But I knew it was too good to be.
And I knew at the end of the night,
The stars would have to leave me.
I tried to keep my strength inside-
Try to feel like it was real.
But sadly I could not hide
How miserable I really feel.
You're not really here... I thought.
The embrace felt fake.
There was empty comfort that it brought,
But I did not know how much I could take.
I know the stars mean well-
So with them I am not mad.
For I've trapped myself inside this hell,
The pain has never been so bad.
"I want to change my wish." I spoke.
My gaze stuck to the blank night sky.
"I wish to finally rest..." I choked.
"...I no longer wish to cry."
