Stars.

What do they say,

what do they have to tell?

If I asked,

would they tell

why this didn't end so well?

I see a shooting star

How has him - or her - come so far?

How isn't he - or she - too tired to try,

thinking about it makes me want to cry.

And why do they fall down,

down from their skies?

Like we fell down

from our own paradise.
