When The Stars Fell
when the stars fell
our towers fell too
a legacy put out with fire
the great people were taken down
the night sky is blank now
iām waiting for it to light again
it will never light again
i just want my world back
before all this
before everything
2
before they fell
the stars i mean
we were fighting world war three
it was messy
people died, so so so
many people died
school gave out
bombs went off
battles fought
it was terrible
you heard guns and bombs
all through the night
not even the weather
was a constant anymore
the only constant
were the stars shining over head
but even they couldnāt bear to see
the blood and gore

when the roses wilt
when the roses wilt
i told him,
i knew they never would
because they were a garden in my heart
until the sky fell down
blazing suns
burning up the garden
the roses wilted
and now youāre gone
i watched you leave
a lead lined coffin,
thatās what you wanted
because you loved
Stephen King
you didnāt want to rot
and have worms eat out your eyes
and beetles in your skull
a restless eternity
but you didnāt get your lead lined coffin
you got nothing
there was nothing left of you to bury
i miss you
but the roses burnt

before she fell
i used to hate her
before the stars fell
i hated the way she had perfect curls,
no, not hated,
i resented her
i was jealous of her beauty
her bright blue eyes
her straight Aās
the way she could get any guy
i resented her the way the moon resents the sun
jealous of the spotlight
but now,
i miss her laugh
her perfect
smile
she fell when the stars did
she was a star too
but she fell because of a war lost
she fought against herself
and stole her life away,
mere days before everything happened
5
beyond the stars
this beach is untouched
rubble strewn but
no blood
no bodies
no trauma to haunt me
sit alone and listen
to the waves
think about those iāve lost
wonder who is left and hope
that among the fallen stars
there is hope
because i have found a place beyond the stars
maybe there are more
6
if the stars fell
i was young,
when the stars fell
i would think about
if i went missing, what would happen
in my mind three would rescue me
my guardian angel
would fly down from heaven
the monster beneath my bed would emerge
and my stuffed dog would unite to find me
but it my moment of need they
didnāt come
when the stars fell,
i imagine my guardian angel died,
they fell too far,
their wings singed with fire
another falling star
the monster beneath my bed,
i believe they suffocated
crushed beneath the only place
the ever knew,
poetic injustice,
stabbed by their own sword,
and my stuffed dog,
i watched her die
her stuffing burning before my eyes
when the stars fell
the didnāt save me
i had always thought they would
if the stars fell
7
while the stars were falling
when the stars fell,
i was inside,
i didnāt know they were falling
until they crashed through the roof
fire swallowed my home
fire swallowed my family
now i wonāt sleep,
i canāt sleep,
unless i can see the starless sky,
wide and open above my head,
the pinpricks of light are gone.
itās almost pitch black now,
while the stars were falling i didnāt know
until it was too late,
maybe iāll be able to do something
if they start to fall again.
thatās what i think,
until i remember that there are
no stars to fall
