Silent Stars
silent stars shoot across dark sky
a comet's death, lonely do they die
like hopes that fade
belief that wanes
all in the blink of an eye
I once believed in fairy tales
of a savior prince and the wall he scales
but those rhymes were written long ago
they are not true, this I now know
fantasy in every detail
the moon rises alone in velvet night
the twinkling stars enhance my plight
do I look for happily ever after
braving disaster after disaster
trying to rid this stage fright
silent stars shoot across dark sky
