I wish on a star I cannot see
It's her heart and love that can set me free...

Looking for joy among the strife
Wanting a reason for this life...

My smile disappears when she leaves the room
I smell her pillow for that last scent of her...

A heart beating for no reason
Strong arms lay at my side...

Face of wonder, face of pain
Another soul lost but I feel no shame...

Sand cutting into my burnt skin
Hot breeze drying my bones from within...

My life is a tree growing all alone
By a seed planted with rocks and stone...

A jagged edge on a wind swept face
A struggling flower so out of place...

With the last long drag on his cigarette
He adjusts his hat with no way to keep from...
