Collected Stars
I kneel before the temple of Regret, prayers slip through lips of red. Collected stars in a jar, sealed with tears I have not shed.
Like lighting bugs but brighter, it shines with a blinding burst. I sipped from the waters of Lethe once, now I can never queue my thirst.
I didn't mean to hurt him, I'll do anything to make it right. Out of pure desperation, I silently robbed the night.
I went through hell to get here, pulling constellations from the sky. I almost lost it all to Ruin, but still I refuse to cry.
This is all that's left of me, just a shell with a pretty face. So I give this jar as an offering, of the things I can't erase.
