Star

I guess you were born to be a star,
distant, beautiful, the brightest light
travelling away to an unknown land
of mystery, magic, the darkest night
Could you slow down a bit?
Hold a wish till the end of this tide
Breathe the bright blue sky
I know it's too tough to break
This willful, angry, lonely ride
But could you share it for a while?
Teach the art of questions unasked
beneath the layers of muted scars
In search of a place to lay your dreams
Denying the world that could be ours
Do you know this restlessness has no cure?
You could be the petal in the rose
The memory of a forgotten sensation
You could be a truth in some one's lies
or the road leading to my salvation
Do you really always have to be a star?
