Tears
The stars were what she liked most
About the sky.
Then,
They started to fall.
Tears from the eyes of the
Gods above,
Fall down from the sky,
These tears are what we call
Stars.
An impending explosion
Of emotion,
These godly tears that we
Now see fall
Were what she liked most
About the sky.
Tears now fall not just
From the gods’ eyes,
But from hers as well.
The stars shone bright
When they were the
Sky’s light,
Not as they fell to their doom.
An impending explosion
Of emotion,
Tears from her eyes
And those of the
Gods above.
