Black Sky


"Wish I may,
wish I might..."
I whisper as stars fall:
trails of white-fire light.

I thought maybe 
we had a chance...
At love (at like),
at this odd dance...

But who 'm I kidding.
What did they say?
"...Ought to have known
it'd turn this way."

"Wish I may,
wish I might"
have my heart 
returned tonight.

I see it now,
but it's too late 
(and you are gone, 
at any rate).

...Wished on a star,
just to hold you...
Yet now my skies 
are slate, not blue.

"Wish I may,
wish I might,"
...But stars can't make
what's shattered right.

A shooting star,
a wish, a hope;
dashed and shattered...
Yet, I'll cope.

There is no place
for you and me...
And love is not
our destiny.

"Wish I may,
wish I might..." 
No, stars can't help 
my foolish plight.

Many stars fall
(as their design)... 
They will 
till end of time.

Yet no matter how hard I wish,
the skies will wax utterly bare...
--lose every single lasting light--
Before they heed my prayer.
