It doesn't matter how bright you shine, the city may outshine you. And what was always able to rise, set with the demise of light. They found you extinguished, in a shallow grave of regret. Cities have a way of collecting the wishes upon stars, and dousing them out in to nothingness but silence. I wish upon a star, but all stars die...

You were bright-eyed like a flouriest angel lighting up the streets. But they can be dimming. Night has away of draining beauty into void less shadows.

It doesn't matter how bright you shine, the city may outshine you. And what was always able to rise, set with the demise of light. They found you extinguished, in a shallow grave of regret. Cities have a way of collecting the wishes upon stars, and dousing them out in to nothingness but silence. I wish upon a star, but all stars die...
