Star Fade

(...the tragic love song/poem, inspired by Angi's post on star fades.) (I hope she doesn't mind me stealing her ideas!)


Once upon a balmy night
In the summer of our youth
We drank in the moonlight
While breezes caught our whispered truths

And in the silence of the moment
It could all have been a dream
And you said, "Run Away's been done before,
Won't you star fade out with me?"

Once upon a rainy night
Now wiser through the years
We sat while in the shaded light
Your cheeks glistened with tears

And in the silence of the moment
I could just recall that dream
Where you said, "Run Away's been done before,
Won't you star fade out with me?"

But oh, there were no stars that night
The rain fell from the skies
It washed away our memories
It drowned our empty sighs

Once upon a frosty night
When winter trees were bare
You lay in peace and said goodbye
To all that we had shared

And in the silence of the moment
There was nothing left to dream
And I said, "I've never been here before,
Please don't star fade out from me."


Awww......*sniff* That's so sad! (*Ahem* in both senses of the word....c'mon, it is really late, though, I am kinda still wide awake, despite needing to get up early tomorrow morning for a flight to Brisbane...yeah, sorry, couldn't work out whether to be tragic or funny, so went for both simultaneously with above disasterous consequences.)
