Unbeknownst to her,

She would eventually run out of stardust after all.

She begged and cried,

As she got on...

Something beyond the stars beckoned to her

And the stars made her

The dust to ground to body

Her split rib glimmered

As it would in the sky

Shined in her voice

Blinded those that looked in her eyes

And eneveloped them in be...

and all will fall into demise.

Lines in the rift,

of being behind her eyes.

She gave everyone she knew a star in the sky

so anytime she looked up she could be greeted with the comfort of familiarity

To be reminded of the love both given and received

The stars were what she liked most about the sky, after all

She became so familiar with looking up that she created maps in her mind

Each landmark representing someone she held dear

and the journey they shared

The stars were...

Her Sunshine

Glowing like honey,

The sweetest known

Days with her, warm and sunny,

Those around her tend to grow

She lived among the stars,

Not hers to see,

Never too far,

They did not shine as bright as she

She longed for the stars,

And the life they provide,

But when she was around,

They all seemed to hide

She was the sun,

The warmth in the sky,

The bringer of fun,

Her joyfulness and energy were what the girl liked about her little sister.

However, her energetic and happy persona started to fall after starting high school.

“They’d wish they didn’t give you up”

She’d whisper to herself as she lay on her roof

And it would be true

They’d all finally see

What they’d been missing out on

Because this girl

This shy, weird and out of place girl

Would finally be where she was meant to b...

And in the beginning it was there with us

And it’s there now again

And it giggles winks and stumbles

I escape into you

Flight of fancy hard lessons learned

What is just is just now and before

And we are where we are now

And how long here we differ

As we embrace you begin a brother
