Stars set Fire

I sit on the staircase

facing the dark night

What had I done?

I couldn't recall..

The expression on his face

So hurt..

What have I done..

Running through my head

my memory had failed me

Unsure..

but knowing that I never wanted to lose him

I fell..Reached up..

with caps on the floor

tears on his hips

holding on, begging

quivering lips

black turned to red

�Stars set Fire�

I awake to his warmth

arms wrapped around me

he's still by my side

he whispers I love you baby

all smiles as I fall back asleep

reality is better than my dreams
