Like the stars

People say that
the stars aren't actually there...
they disappeared long ago...

What if I am a star
what if I disappear?
will people still be looking for me too?

Life goes on...
the sun still comes out
the earth stills rotates
and the seasons still change.

'Don't even think about that'
-fuck you
but the cuts run deep
and before you know it
everything is black.

Your best friend still cries
looking at the memories on her wall
still waiting for you at the end of the day
wishing she could be giving you a hug and a smile.

Your boyfriend gets sad
he starts feeling the way you did...empty.
he just wants to kiss you one last time...
soon he will...
when he can't take the pain anymore.

Your mother can't talk
or look in the mirror
all she sees is you
in herself.

Your father can't sleep
he can't get the picture out of his mind
of you laying on the floor...
motionless

Your brother is lost
he looks at your bedroom door
hoping to see you
doing your homework or dancing...

Your house is silent
your family can't say anything
without it being stuck in the air
where you should be walking.

But we are like the stars
already gone to the world around us
no one notices if we aren't there one day...
they eventually stop looking.
