Mama told me
Baby you're a star
The brightest of her kind
Shining beautifully, even on clouded nights
You said to me
Baby we are stars
We sit side by side
Even on raining nights
When the cloud was thick and gray
The rain battering on the window seal
You held right close to you
And pointed out our stars
It was my favourite thing to watch
Like nature saying we were meant to be
It bore no heed to rules
Two stars bright on a raining day
Two nights passed and no sight of you
Two weeks, two months
Then out of the blues you came
Face hard and eyes cold
Stared hard at me and pointed upwards
Where a star sat dim and lone
You were talking
But I couldn't hear over the ringing
In my head
You were there but I couldn't see you
My sight was clouded with tears
You turned and never looked back
The pain shattered me as I watched
The questions hanging loosely on my lips
"Baby what's the fault in our stars?
Did I get too dim for your bright self? Or
Have you found a better sky to shine on?"
