The Star

I once knew a star That lit up my life It lit up my days Along with the night It's brilliance so bright It blocked out the sun Outshined every star That the universe spun This star was so special That i followed it's light I followed it's path And trusted my sight The rays from the star Filled my dark life with joy Something i haven't felt Even as a young boy But, this star, it betryayed me And right from the start Used it's white hot bright rays To burn a hole through my heart It blinded my eyes Got me lost on my way Turned my daylight to dark Only nighttime, no day This star nearly killed me From blindness of sight I kept falling and hurting I could only see night 'Till finally i stood Turned my back to the star Now my sight's comming back I can see very far The star went away Left me cold in the night Though fearful and lonely Other stars shined for light I'll miss the bright light But i remember it's cost And the lesson it taught me Will never be lost.
