Shooting Stars Are Wishing

Won't you take the hint?
Won't you hint me back?
I'm standing here in whiteness,
Are you laying there in black?
I'm climbing up your rope.
Don't let out, please, the slack.
I'm jumping over canyons.
Don't widen up the gap.

If shooting stars are wishing,
On comets then, I pray.
"Don't let her, God, go missing.
I'll kill myself that day."
Yes, that does sound drastic,
And I'll just say, "But hey,
There's nothing else to live for,
It's better off this way."


                                   To my Star.

Great writing Jonathan. You have a great way with words. It's good to know I'm not the only one here, a Jehovah's Witness. I hope Melanie gets back to doing what our loving Father asks of us. We can surely see how bad this world is getting and it wouldn't be too wise to be found perishing like satan, of which he certainly is hoping for. We all know we can always be forgiven, and He, Jehovah knows what's in our hearts. Lawrence in Lou. Ky.
