I have once loved from afar.
It all started with a small spark,
Until it became a flame,
and started a fire.
I let him bask in the glory of my blaze,
For he looked beautiful bathed in the light.
He was so perfectly ethereal, I thought
I could succumb to this fire forever.
But the moment's fleeting,
My fire could no longer follow his pace,
I burned a little more, till it burned my skin,
scorching, consuming, all of me, to pieces.
If you ever wonder if a star dies,
I do too. I just want to expend this fire faster
till it all ignites and fall to the earth's cold ground.
If you ever wonder who I am,
you just need to look up,
I am the one burning up in the northern sky.
