Star-Struck
By: Bleached Roses

Once upon a time ::
he fell from Heaven
-&- grabbed a star
on the way

d

o

w

n

-&- her eyes s.p.a.r.k.l.e.d
as stardust painted her eyelashes.

Sweetie, it brings out your eyes
he would say
before giving her the world;

even though it burns--
it is all she has
so she holds on.

Sometimes,
wishing on stars
just does not make the cut.

So . just . kiss . me
-&-
I'll take care of the rest.
