I told the star a story

One made from ink and time

A story that I told him

A story I couldn’t rhyme

A girl once loved a man

A man once took this girl

Thought to make her his wife

But killed before he could try

The star then blinked out

Of the cold night sky

It’s light dimmed

As it began to cry

I told the star a story

Of love that was gone

It went all wrong

And the star wept

All through the night

Until it could no longer cry

And I stayed by its side

But they were not as sad

As you might expect

Because they loved each other

A tale as old as time
