The Star

&& I sat outside in th dark
thinkin bout my dad
i asked him if i was ok
& for once i wasnt sad

the star shimmered, nd disappeared
it was as if he was shakin his head
& i knew he was sittin there wiht me
even though my whole life he's been dead

i wanted to reach over nd feel him
hold his hand in mine
& i kno its odd, but he was there
and that star was his sign
