Your words were the sweet salve upon my wounds,
and I was the infant your lullabies would soothe.

You make me feel special when I hear your repertoire
like I was the only one hearing your sad, sweet, lie.

When you bestow your beautiful words upon me,
I become a child on Christmas day
or a useless trinket but still on display

I become a satisfied senior- who has had his fun
But little did I know your words were giveaways- presented to everyone.

Dead Star
There she is again-staring out the window. The little girl gazes up at me every night, basking in my light, appreciating my shine. I long for her  smiling stares, like I am something beyond beautiful. She whispers, “I wish I never have to blink, so I never have to miss a second of you.”

She sits there entranced by my brilliance. Never wishing to go, yet never staying too long.

She says she loves me, but only during the night when I shine the brightest.
