oh and they shine
like all those fairy tales tell
and i look for the brighter one
without thinking about it
but what seems to last
is the most dim one
the one off on her own
and she
shines like all those stars
something more
than what is obvious
maybe now seems more true than ever
she is there
beckoning me
holding me
making me want
for her
and she is there
much more than barely
she is there
tugging and pulling
at these sad strings
knowing she is wishing and dreaming
under the same stars
hoping and thinking
of us wrapped up in that star filled blanket
how i wish i could fall asleep
listening to her breath
as we fall to sleep.
