Shooting Star

by Katie   Jan 1, 2005


Looking up at the midnight sky,.
A shooting star, I watch as it flies by.
All the stars, they shine so bright.
What a wonderful feeling, on this cold September night.

It’s been awhile since you went away.
Here I am, on my bed I lay.
I softly whisper the song of pain.
Is it true, am I growing insane?

I’ll take the chance and wish on that shooting star.
I’ll wish for true love, whether near or far.
I’ll wish for beauty and innocence.
I’ll wish for a simple thing called existence.

All I can do is have faith and hope,
That someday my wishes will come true.
Because its as simple as this, I need you.

I look in the mirror and I see a stranger.
I feel safe but also in danger.
There’s nothing I can do but stare,
And hope soon she’ll finally be aware.

A person like her I can not be.
This is me,
I’ll let all the people see.

A girl with a torn heart and a faded smile.
To be happy, I guess I’ll have to wait awhile.
But, for now I’ll just wish on every shooting star.
Because I can’t go to heaven, its way too far.
