I used to gaze upon the starry night skies,

Thinking of you all the time..

I quickly realised though with each flickering star,

That my heart was aching with too many scars.

I no longer yearn for a dreamy, delusional love,

I've been hurt too many times to believe any of it.

So now I look to those stars above,

All alone, on my own path, in my own element.

I still think about you whilst I tend to my scars,

I walk forward still holding pain from our past..

I don't know why I still feel so much in my heart,

I can't escape, but I wish I could forget all of it.

You may think I'm ok but I still wear a mask..

Just as you did, many times when we held each other,

Ignoring our wounds and gazing upon the stars,

We can't hide from the scars on our hearts.
