Shooting StarA Poem by Kaitlyn RaifordShooting star in the sky- Brightest thing I've seen tonight. Falling through down to the Earth- A beautiful yet sour birth. Could I not have watched you longer? Seen your light shine bright and stronger? Nestled higher than the night sky itself- A precious treasure set at the highest shelf. You'd be set up high for all to see- Like a sparkling diamond set on a golden ring. But yet, here you fall- Now as dull as the words scribbled on bathroom walls. Nothing more than a fallen grace- A beautiful memory that left no trace. You've moved on to another world- Waiting to see how your new life unfurls. I can only hope that you're still shining bright- As bright as you did on that first night. I'll be standing on that lonely path- Crying enough tears to feed the grass. Hoping us both to live life happy and great- Yet knowing we were separated sadly by fate. The night sky has faded- It's not the same. It lost it's brightest light- A celebrity with no name. I, too, can say that I've changed- All that I hate is all that remains. With your fall came my loss of love- My lack of faith in the beauty above. Though now I see you're still as bright as ever- I am the one who grew duller. I am an empty socket- The broken light bulb. I am the reason why the glass isn't half full.
