She sits on the dresser
Waits to be opened, the sound is pure
My sister watches her for hours
On a cold winters night, my father is out
My mother is worried and wakes me
I must accompany her to look for him
As my sister dreams
We drive for what seems eternity
Looking.. Searching..
We give up.
The worst thing I see
His truck in the driveway....
His hands around my mothers neck
My mother cries to break my heart once again
He goes to bed.. Throws my mother out
My mother will freeze
I awake my sister. We must help her.
We call out to her from our bedroom window.
We carefully remove the obstacles
Do not make any noise
We cannot awake the monster
She cries.. We are afraid
As we try to pull her into warmth
He awakes...
He storms in
Shoves my mother out.
He throws the wind up dancer at her.
The music plays...
I lay quietly in bed
I lay as I hear my mothers cries
I lay as I hear the ballerina dance
I lay as the music breaks my soul.

A shooting star
my whole existence is
I used to believe that I am a new human
in your colourful life
a shooting star star
falling on the open field of hopes
of your dreams
I am falling now
with each and every  breath of yours
with every sun that rises
with every sun that dies
I am that shooting star
you believed in
but
I can't make your wish come true
I will just make myself true
even though
I don't shine in your Universe
even though
I am just the dying star
you have stepped on
on a lonely night
when the moon was shining
and the night on your heart
was covered with clouds.

I am the shooting star
falling
dreaming
of your eyes
of your smile.

In silence, I know
I am the only shooting star
with a destiny of its own.

A star who doesn't smile
nor falls
A star who just leaves
like the smoke of your cigarette
in the wind.

I am the shooting star star
you didn't see
the one who loves you
and you did not
believe.

I want to pick my own dream.

There should be a kiss
At the base of my neck.

And wrinkled sheets.

And a long, hot shower
With arms that wrap around.

I've been patiently
Waiting

No more nightmares,
Okay?
