My footsteps should have remained static, but I listened while you were whispering                 beyond my reflections.        I was their but my own impression didn't linger long enough to see the pain                        falling like autumns leaves. I looked beyond the views of myself and saw a light fading before it was meant to become                                                     a shooting star. I now wish upon your descending memory, wishing I had been there more before you felt                         the need to become extinguished. Reminiscing on my failures of what I should                                            have delicately read. But I let you light fade swinging like an extinguished chandelier. No longer did light breath,                     but an extinguished moment of time that wasn't meant to fade yet. *"Were both shooting stars hanging silently,                       never falling just motionless in grief.*

When Shooting Stars Hang Static
My footsteps should have remained static, but I listened while you were whispering                 beyond my reflections.        I was their but my own impression didn't linger long enough to see the pain                        falling like autumns leaves. I looked beyond the views of myself and saw a light fading before it was meant to become                                                     a shooting star. I now wish upon your descending memory, wishing I had been there more before you felt                         the need to become extinguished. Reminiscing on my failures of what I should                                            have delicately read. But I let you light fade swinging like an extinguished chandelier. No longer did light breath,                     but an extinguished moment of time that wasn't meant to fade yet. *"Were both shooting stars hanging silently,                       never falling just motionless in grief.*
