Wishful thinking

I had never seen a shooting star before

Desired to catch

a glimpse

of the majesty itself

to finally wish 

selfless as I am

not what was best for me

but what was best for you

But when I eventually did

I was as happy as a child

who got an A for math

Should've known 

the stars took me for granted

and the milky way made fun of me

when I saw

your eyes locked away

in a different world

I was not familiar with

and the white devil coming

out of your perfectly

imperfect nose

Screw you stars

who should be guiding me home

with your endless light

you gave me nothing 

but darkness

I was too obsessed with the cosmos

the moon

and all it's secrets

Did I kno

I'd ever hope for it

to entirely

explode

and he was locked in a world of drugs...and she was high on the stars...some secrets are best kept.

this makes me think of line from Romeo and Juliet when Romeo finds out Juliet is dead ---"Then I defy you stars!"

Wow, I really love this expression 'she was high on the stars' would fit perfectly into this poem! Thanks for reading :)
