The Missing Star

One morning i woke up with pen and paper. I looked down at my notepad, and it had this written on it, but surprisingly, i never remembered writing it. I read it and cried. It fit me perfectly.

Tonight I decided to go outside,
Wanting to know from what I was trying to hide.
As I look at the brilliant sky tonight,
A new star has finally caught my sight.
It is beautiful, but so far away;
I feel I must reach it, but it will not stay.
When the clouds came and hid it from me,
All I could think of is what I used to see.
The star with its radiant shine,
I’m constantly longing for it to be mine.
Then with the break of dawn it fades away,
And I feel disappointed that it cannot stay.
I’ve waited all day for the sun to set,
Because I haven’t reached the star quite yet.
Finally night has come at last,
Trying to find something from the past.
But tonight I can’t find it and now I’m lost,
And now my hope has painfully crossed.
Now I don’t know why I try,
I’ve lost all that I cared about in the sky.
Now I feel I must go inside,
So I can make myself try to hide.
I keep hurting and it’s all my fault,
And now I feel my emotions need to halt.
Now that I’m back, locked away,
I think I’ll just wait here, again, and stay.

This was the third poem I have written where it wasn't a forced assignment.
