Alone On a Star

Alone on a star, 
I wish to see hope granted but alas from afar, 
our love ran cold like a stream gone dry.  
I picked up my broken heart and carried it ever so soft, 
I wandered the places where oft love goes to die.  
Begrudgingly, I held that sharp steel sword ever so ary, 
you would almost think I buried sorrow`s disdain on the hill aloft.  
I swung relentlessly, blade relentless in its dire pursuit,
 until I collapsed with heart in hand; 
ready to meet my unrequited fate, to only uncover the lowly 
place of which our demise doth lie.  
Speak softly or do not speak at all; 
we were destined to meet love`s malice, 
the bleak uncertainty remains as of late: 
was how we fell all pretend or were we even meant to fall?
