Stars

Back then it almost felt

Heaven sent

With slow dancing models

In a childs ornament

Kept spinning our heads full of stars

Don't know what we had

But we knew it was ours

With one hand on the small of her back

The other in hers, as we moved to the track

That was playing in our heads all along

The symphony silent, a beautiful song

We were lovers, we were doomed from the start

It was all broken clockwork, the dancers both fall appart

Maybe it was a dream, and I just woke up

The girl sits alone with her art

Seems her words are the only way

To mend her broken heart

Like her life is the fiction not found

Her real image in writing is staring straight back

Her protagonist has broken hope

The typewriter pause, then the words come out slowly

Like teardrops, fall on the page

In an instant her soul, released from its cage

She wrote:

You were laying there dying

Like the end of a western

Saying tell me what europe is like

I said tell me yourself, we can go when you feel right

At the coast, every star seems so near

But you wouldnt know each, had been gone all those years

And the ocean rose on like a dream

And into the distance, forever it seems
