Sorrow for the Stars

[Vika]

As a little child
I loved to stare up at the moon
Imagining what it would be like
To sit and watch the blue planet
Rise on the horizon


I wished for nothing more at that time
Then to be up in the sky
Ride upon a shooting star
That would take me to a magical land
Created just for me


I used to tell you how I loved that moon
How the silver light would guide me
As I walked down the beaten road
On those nights when I had nowhere
Else to walk


Orion was my hero
He helped me through the nights
Sheilded me with his six stars
I felt safer when he was in my skylight
Knowing pain would only be distant


Now, I just wish they would go away


My love for them is not lost
It will always be there
But some love causes great sorrow
A stab deeper than words


Now everytime I look to the heavens
Spot Orion defending in the skyies
Or see the luminescent moon
I can't help but cry
Finding it hard to breath


A sharp pain goes through my chest
As if a screw is being twisted in
Deeper and deeper it imbeds itself
Until it is so far in
That it cannot be removed


I don't want the light of the moon
To be my guide any longer
I wish night would drape over me
Like black silk over
A gypsy's shew stone


The comfort I once found
In the expansive twilight
Has been replaced by a feeling
Worse than being held under water
Or being burned by fire


Now, I just wish they would go away


Because they remind me of you
Of how you will never be next to me
To hold my hand in yours
And admire their beauty
Together.
