Reach
For the stars
They say

But stars were never meant to be reached
Were never meant to be touched

Reach
They say

You reach
And they do not reach with you

The stars have never felt so far away
And maybe they’re meant to be that way

Reach
They say

You reach
And their eyes are full of judgement

And when you burn
You burn alone

Reach
They say

You reach
And they turn their faces away

And when you fall
You fall alone

Reach
For the stars
They say

For they have never reached
They have never burned
They have never fallen

You reach
And as you hit the ground
They call you a shooting star

Beautiful
They say

It’s a shame
It didn’t
Last
Longer

(For stars were never meant to be reached
Were never meant to be touched

By human hands

And we are only human, after all)
