When a star burns black,
But no one is around to hear it,
it screams the last, lingering, piercing note,
of a symphony
written for a dying wish,
and a lost dream.
Finally imploding into silence
where even the brightest of lights,
is lost in hollow darkness.
On Facebook, I asked people to give me a first line, and I'd write a poem with it. My ex-boyfriend put "When a Star Burns Black." This was the result.
