Star Light, Star Bright

griffinsierra:

For Carolyn

Feeling you looking, a skyful of eyes,
Planets, stars, meteors, wandering, fixed,
Shooting past, if I could catch, surprise,
Seeking too, found you, only perplexed
At knowing this isn’t a story of us.
It’s just that when I saw you name my old need
I unearthed it, icy ball gathering dust,
Remembered it orbiting widely, sky-seed,
Peregrinations of hope and of tears,
Frustrated emptiness, near to despair.
Once I found someone to hold me for years,
But now that is ruined and beyond repair.
We may not be star-crossed, I may not be free,
But what you wish for you is what I wish for me.
