Shooting
Star
Starlight,
star bright, the first star he sees tonight. Wish he may wish he might, may he
have this wish tonight? Teary eyes, streaked down cheeks body sore from where
fist had me. Beaten, bruised, and physically scared; he peers out the window to
see a shooting star.
Starlight,
star bright; the first star she sees tonight. Wish she may, wish she might, may
she have this wish tonight? Up under the covers curled into a ball and eyes
shut so tight; praying that he passes out and forgets her tonight. Prayers go
unanswered as she hears his feet at the door and it swings open hitting the
wall. Clutching her blanket with all of her might as he rips it from her and
another piece of her innocence that night. Then leaves her feeling so empty.
She peers out the window to see a shooting star.
Starlight,
star bright; the first star they see tonight. Wish they may wish they might,
may they have this wish tonight? Destructive behavior with not a care in the
world had this abused little boy and girl. No one to turn to, cries went
unheard so they sought refuge in the dark underworld. Smoking and drinking was
getting out of hand so they step up their habit to something a little harder to
make their pain go away a little longer. Pill popping and shooting up were
their drugs of choice and as the indulged they heard a little voice saying
“please take this pain I do not wish to feel this another day.” They drank,
smoked shot up something fierce. The popped pill after pill for a high that
would not let them down. With the last swig of the drink, liquid in the needle,
and pill in the bottle; they looked out the window to see a shooting star and
made one last wish before it was all over.
Starlight,
star bright; first star they see tonight. Wish they may, wish they might, may
they have this wish tonight?
