my only star was burned black,
then fell from the sky,
it was trampled and stabbed
'till at midnight, it died.
it was thrown in the water,
tossed in the waves.
then it washed up on the shore,
on the dark side of Hades.
a fallen angel picked it up
and polished it with his wings.
he saw my reflection in the glass
and his heart began to sing.
i found my shattered star
at the edge of the sea,
with a black feather and a note;
a white ribbon bound the three.
i untied the ribbon,
the frayed ends caked with red mud.
i read the ripped note
that was scrawled in blood.
a tear fell from my eye.
shock hit me hard.
i read three little words
and stared at my star.
a relection stared back at me
that wasn't my own.
i screamed, and in the fire's light,
his dark eyes shone.
my heart began to race
faster than ever before.
all i'd ever known was lies,
but this was true, for sure.
so, i wrote my own note,
quickly with black ink.
i tied it with an old bracelet
and tossed it into the sea.
i waited for two days,
terrified my star had been lost,
but it washed up near the pier,
the pieces sparkling like frost.
another note was tied to it,
with a simple piece of string.
i read his crimson words
and my ears began to ring.
i sat at the edge of the water,
and tears bgan to fall.
all i could think of is:
"what if i lose it all?"
i never knew what he was,
until i read that note,
and the only way we can be together
is if i slit my throat.
i thought about it
and waited a day.
when i wrote him back,
i wrote: "okay".
at dinner that night,
i stared at my knife,
with fear clear in my eyes.
neither of us knew
how this would go through,
so i blew a kiss to the sky.
the pain was excrutiating
but not for long.
i thought i'd go straight to him
but i was dead wrong.
i was sent to Heaven
and he didn't know.
i didn't know what to do,
i wasn't giving up though.
i wrote him a note
with ink made from the sun's rays.
i stole another star from the sky
and threw it into a hurricane.
i was scared to death he didn't get it,
that maybe it was too late,
but as i walked about the realm,
i saw something at the edge of the pearly gate.
i couldn't believe it was really a note.
honestly, i'd almost given up hope,
but what he wrote
scared me to death.
i had to do something terrible
to get kicked out of Heaven.
what i did
is too horrible to say,
but it was worth
the price i'd pay.
i was thrown through the clouds,
the sky, and the ground.
The pain was so bad,
it made me pass out.
when i came to,
i had landed in Hell.
the darkness filled with firelight,
the air with a burnt smell.
my hair was a mess,
i was covered in dirt.
everywhere, i was scraped,
and my ankle was hurt.
i didn't know what to do
so i threw a note in the sea
and sat there, waiting,
for him to meet me.
the sea sprayed my face.
the salt burned my scrapes.
the water was cold as ice.
the shore was all black.
when i moved, it would crack.
i was awake for most of the night.
i would search for my star,
but i got lost in the devil's leir.
i couldn't tell the difference
between reality and nightmares.
the third night came
that i sat at the sea.
the crashing black water
lulled me to sleep.
when i awoke,
i was in a different place.
i rubbed my eyes
and my heart began to race.
i looked up to find my star,
hanging from a chain,
pieces of glass
stitched in the missing pieces place.
i knew that my star
would never be whole,
but he made it look more beautiful
that it ever had before.
he was playing with my ring,
his fingers intertwined with mine.
he was wearing my old bracelet,
that i'd tied a note with that night.
my gaze traveled to his face.
i gasped at the sight so rare.
i was hypnotized by his eyes,
darker than his raven black hair.
i'd never felt so safe in anyone's arms,
until the moment he held me,
never heard a voice so smooth,
or a kiss that tasted like candy.
and to think i was scared of everything,
of losing it all for good.
sure, a lot of things did get lost,
but through it all, love withstood.
