stars take shape in your eyes
as i remember all those times
that we would lay in rooms apart
dreaming of the home we'd start
less frequent we would share
a room, a meal, but no despair
linking minds and lacing hands
starting plans on salt and sand
the days turned cold when you left
the skies above grew dark and wept
no warning as leaves turned brown
that this would never be your town
i froze and thawed, in my bed
awoken, raw and full of dread
now i wait for the sun to rise
as the stars all fell from your eyes
