Twinkle, twinkle little star
You shine so brightly, from afar.
Dropping hints of hidden light,
Sparkling, always just out of reach.
You look so perfect and all I want
would be to hold you
Close.

Twinkle, twinkle lying star
A liar- you don't show your scars.
Inside your heart, a tangle of knives
and on your skin, old fault-lines.
But you look whole, and all they want
would be to look and see just that.
You want to gleam so you should not
let them get any
Closer.

Twinkle, twinkle, stupid star
What a little fool you are.
Stealing all your light from brilliance,
that of others, somehow thinking
that someone could notice a twinkling star
against the blind beauty of the sun.
You are burning, little star, but all
you ever wanted was to be
Closest.
