Fallen Star

They could never understand what you set out to do

Instead they chose to ridicule you

When you got weak they loved the sight of your dimming
and flickering starlight

How could they understand what was so intricate 
to be loved by so many, so intimate

They wanted to see your lifeless corpse

This way you could not alter the course of ignorance
that they have set to make my people forget

What they have done for much to long
to just forget and carry on

I had loved you forever because of who you are
and now I mourn our fallen star.
