Poem Title:
Poem
On a dreary night not so long ago i wished upon a star, And that single wish traveled somewhere incredibly far. Past meadows and hills and things ordinary and things bazarre. In a single restless night my wish became the very thing I thought they are. I waited days upon days and weeks upon weeks, it wasn't coming true. I waited nights, mornings and afternoons, thought there was just about nothing left to do. I just about gave up hope and stopped running from my problems too. I was just about ready to leave and never come back, until I met you. I didn't know it at first and just kept trying not to die. I didn't know what you were, I stayed up just to cry. I didn't know how it happened, but all of a sudden I wasn't just "getting by." I felt happiness for the first time in a while and I didn't know why. I looked up and saw you, the last thing I expected to see. I looked up into your eyes and all of a sudden I felt free. You saw the good in me, something I thought could never be. I planted a last hope seed, and you grew into a tree. When it was painful to sit in the sun, I rested in your shade. I built a house in your branches and called it home, a place self made. I never thought it to be possible, what we found and hope it'll never fade. All the years of holding on and my deeds finally got paid. We are not from here, extraterrestial bodies in space. I've never been in the light, so they never saw my face. Now and then and forever more I was longing for your embrace. You silently, slowly welcomed me and showed me your grace. You were a star and I but a black hole. You came so close and I thought you had slipped away. But I looked down to notice that you were now a part of me. Holding me in your light for the rest of time and more. I thought that I was the death of you, but turns out that's all that was needed for us to be whole. A dark dead star, and a star that shone so bright on it's own, anyone who gazed upon it would be blinded, together to form the most beautiful bond.
