My Star Burns No More
My life was brightened by your light,
I now sit in the darkness of the night;
Your love to me shown gleaming and sure,
Now I wait for you no more;
The deafening of time marches on for so long,
My eyes are blinded by the memory of your song;
My muse has left me in despair,
I now wait for my last breath of air;
I swirl in that black hole where no light escapes,
A star’s rebirth for whose light I shall wait.
