STARS

I stand, gazing up at the midnight sky,
   the stars blurred by tears of anguish.
My heart shatters, and a pain like no other
   wracks my body.
My eyes search the heavens,
   seeking answers to questions I cannot ask.
My soul cries out,
   seeking comfort where none is to be found.
My skin tingles,
   aching for the touch that it cannot have.
My mind races,
   trying desperately to turn back the hands of Time,
   but to no avail.
The world spins out of control.
I shatter into a million tiny pieces,
   floating to join the stars;
For You belong to another.
