When the Stars Lied

Written in the stars they said
a future made up of hopes and dreams.

But dreams don't move,
and hope alone can't feel.

Now everything leans towards an ending.

You and me,
staring too long
trying to hold a spark
already gone cold.

A dream we once shared
 dissolves between us,

leaving only the ache
 of love
that no longer loves back.
