The beautiful stars in the sky 

Glimmering like a shimmer of hope

Sparkling like a beautiful gem.


The lonely stars in the sky

Glimmering like a sliver of sadness

Sparkling like a teardrop in her eye.


She is a star,

Beautiful,

Glorious,

Radiant.


She is a star.

One of the 3 billion stars that make up our night sky.

If she left,

If she just disappeared forever,

No one would notice a thing.


The people she thought loved her

Would quickly forget her existence.


They people she thought were her friends

Wouldn't even realise her absence. 


It's not until she reappears after years

That they notice.

That they remember her.


Her sudden presence reminds them that they hadn't seen her in forever.


Do they care?


No.


Do they forget her?






Yes.
