Mark Twain Made Me A Sandwich

i know beginings and how sweet they taste
i know endings, ive seen sweetness fall to the waist
i continue to dream of continuance, though it seems nothing ever lasts.
Adam was too slow and Eve was too fast.
i've watched stars gather around for nothing
i've watched stars fall, its surely something.
Marylnn Menroe or the twinkle in the sky
both fell without gravity, should we even ask why?
i used to shoot for the stars
and smiled when they fell.
i'd point and stare, at a beautiful lie
shining our brightest, is when we die.
so i choose the moon, i'm rarely hole
and with all my falls comes a rise.
beaten, and bruised, but im yet to die.
Stars twinkle, and i was told to shine
i want the glory of nothing to be all but mine....
