He wished upon a star 12 years back
The day she last heard his soft tone.
He left with a million unanswered questions
Only to never return back home.
He wandered off alone into the darkness
For several years he was lost,
Before he found himself
Amid blinding lights and the blessings of his past.
Twelve years down the road
He still missed her gentle embrace,
Had everything he ever wished for
But was devoid of her loving grace.
She fell asleep in tears every night
Clinging on to the last captured frame,
Until she closed her eyes for the last time one night
With no one to hold for the blame.
Abandoning the only woman he ever loved
His only regret that can never be undone.
The woman who cried every time she heard his name
To her, he always would be her runaway son.
