It started off with a simple nursery rhyme
One night
She whispered wishes out her window
In hopes of curing her quarter-life crisis
Daylight brought an unforgettable opportunity
Of obtaining the first man
Reminiscent of fairy tale heroes
Confidence opened her heart
She expressed her dreams
While he was stuck on reality
Though they met mindsets on love at first sight
By sunset, she knew she found the one
She promised herself
First star she’d see tonight
She’d thank it
For the death of may and might
(Though her gratitude was for naught
At least for tonight)
Now she buries her head in pillows
So the stars won’t hear her cries
Blinding balls of light
Searing flesh under unsuspecting eyelids
Every touch from him
Choking her
Suffocating thoughts
Resuscitating fear
In trails of trampled emotions at his feet
Surrendering to nonexistent gods
Who would inflict such pain
Scarring a precious life
Just because she believes in
Star light star bright?
