The Star that Burned

She brushed her lips with velvet soft petals

the tickling sensation bruising her mind

It kept her thinking of a boy she used to love

A boy who would sing until she melted to puddles

She finally opened her palm

The flowers fell on gravel

The gravel led to her heart

Wired among those veins

the ticking never loomed on silence

Only occasionally did the beat hesitate

it always revived 

Just like the vibrato of his chords

It could rise like twin balloons

or it could merge with sea and sink a ship

He left with a solo

She swayed away in a swing

When he looked back

he watched a star burn

She never glanced behind

with just a couple of memories of him

she could imagine what could of been

She had let go of her rose

she stepped over those boundaries

He was the one who left

she wasn't going to stay

He wanted to sing along with the blues

She decided to try her hand at it too

Just not in blues

Her voice bled with guitar

raged with the drums

In sweaty palms the mic fell

All that was left was applause

That's what this has led to

A girl on fire

new lyrics

a brand new tune

It was going to be fine day
