Star Girl
By Miguela Destura
I can see him now
A silhouette against the stark sky
Face upturned to watch Heaven;
He stands amongst the rubble –
A boy no longer.
He is our hero
He fought so hard for our happiness
But he sacrificed his own.
His eyes reflecting the stars –
His heart is stolen.
"Is she up there?
Is she thinking of me now?
Or has she already forgotten –
Like the stupid adult she is?"
The girl from the stars –
She didn't really leave him behind.
She took away his heart, and
Left behind his empty shell –
He's changed forever.
I have no hope now.
He has been taken away from me.
Again. Another one gone.
Did I ever have a chance?
…No. Probably not.
Still he watches
Waiting for her to come back –
As it wasn't easy to forget
Just how much he really loved her.
