as we tread further
on our separate paths
we fade further
out of sight
stars are all we have
to connect our diverging lives
look at the sky from where you are
and know that though we are so far
we see the same stars
stars are all we have
to connect our distant lives
so what becomes of you and I
under this fading Winter sky
this death black sky
as we walked for hours,
stars lit the forest of our past
you and I faded like the night sky
fearing to leave the beaten path
and so we lie, you and I
torn apart by the miles
and so we die, you and I
under the same black sky
I hope someday you find the fire
to leave the comfort of the beaten path
