Mourning StarA Poem by marciea mother and her two daughters
You’re no stranger to blue days
The other star lives in your head Grieved in a lot of places But life’s no world for games Where did your dreams go? For the eldest, and that’s not me I spent years in my own plains Blinding myself to the truth We chased after what we abused Shutting out everything good Scars don’t fade and my skin is blue They’re waiting to bless you with great things The other star waits for the worst The scars have already become blue Mourning stars in the dead night sky © 2018 marcie |
