She scryed for the star
That died before dawn
That melted away
At the glare of the sun

Weakness became
Of what it had not
The twinkle a star
Any star should have sought

For each sparkle and wink
Would appear like a dream
To a star whose dull glitter
Could never be seen

And whispers remained
Of the star that had died
And became a black hole
Where lost wishes could hide

Still she mourned for her jewel
Set in black velvet sky
A diamond lost
But unable to find

For beyond all the stars
The girl could have kissed
She chose the dull star
That died as she wished
