For Stars I Cannot

I toss and turn and try all night

In vain hopes I can make things right,

For all the love I hold so dear

Still grasps my everlasting fears.

The time I try and lie awake,

The time I could never remake,

All lost when I had felt it too;

All I felt was losing you.

Words are short, all stories end,

Yet watch them stealing all my friends.

The lies and truths, all in between

My hopes and dreams, crushed at fifteen.

I watch seconds slip through my fingers,

Hoping all these thoughts don’t linger.

And so they do, and so I say:

“I missed you terribly all day.”
