Now Playing: "Last Words of a Shooting Star" -Mitski
──────── ･ ｡ﾟ☆: .☽ . :☆ﾟ. ────────

The voices of stars
reside a million miles away
but after all these years
their lights begin to fade
there voices can still be heard
but they have little left to say
so how can you save a life
that has already begun to fray

a star doesn't always shine
sometimes its beauty lies too far away
hidden behind motley clouds
of obvious dismay
the light never quite reaches us
until it's far too late
all those light years waiting
for someone to meet its gaze

you can't just wish
upon the bewitching lights
that float silently through the night sky
they may not even be stars at all
Just cosmic gems floating by
but they have a better chance
of granting your wish than me
cause i'm a poisoned star
that's starving its creativity

i'm a blinded star
that never truly got to see
the beauty of this world
and all it had to give to me
because my eyes were fogged up
by the frigid tears of anguish
spilling down my face
but i still exuded brilliance
and never ending grace

no one actually knew
the light behind my starry eyes
no one ever cared enough
until it was no longer bright
it almost perished in vain
without saying a single word
vermillion leaking from its mouth
from biting back all the hurt

i've never had so many ears
listen to the stories i had to tell
never had these many eyes
read the sorrowful words i've painfully bled
so thank you for being here
for listening to the voice of my fading star
but now it must die
for a new one to be born

hey how y'all doing?? 🤩🤩🤩 sorry for dying for like a year but im so happy and excited to announce that this is the final part of sitaaron ke aavaaz. thank you to everyone who has stuck around from the beginning and allowed me to write some horrendous poetry, all of you mean so much to me. this moment is honestly so bittersweet for me because this is my first time ever publishing poetry and it makes me so happy that people have enjoyed it.
