Bright Star
Bright star that lit up my sky
Like nothing else in the universe –
We are not pressed for distance or time,
But bested by my cowardice.
Bright star, the only one,
The chance was before me but now you’re gone
And my retribution to feel our tie
Severed and watch you shoot out of my sky.
Bright star, now across the universe,
Never to be felt again.
Oh bright star, I had the chance
Over and over again.
But bright star, I was too human,
And your light the rarest gift from above.
Oh, bright star, I failed the test
And let ego overtrump love.
Oh bright star, the only one,
How my actions have been mistaken.
Bright star – loss is forever,
And our story a breath never taken.

Shades of Keats
Bright star, would I were stedfast as thou art—
Not in lone splendour hung aloft the night
And watching, with eternal lids apart,
Like nature's patient, sleepless Eremite...
