"Little Star"
  by Bud Edward


My little star
You're my little star
Another bandage for another scar
Little star
Little star
Another prayer said to a god so far

Why do you struggle to be tall
in a world where everything is small

Little star why shine so bright
if you can rest within my light

But still she didn't understand the law
he cut into her hand

Just watched her blood drip to the floor and
thought of flowers like she did before

And how they are the limbs of earth and that
their seeds fall for rebirth

Because she knew the sun was out, and though
she wasn't, promised not to doubt

So her sweet laughter filled the air
and she twirled so beautifully there
With a joy that could never break
With a joy that god could never take

AWAY
AWAY

So far away

My little star
Just a little star
Another mask to hide another scar
Little star
Little star
Bowing at the altar of a devil far

Why do you still pursue
the wish one made upon seeing you

Foolish star do your dreams hold sway
Is there one with whom you'll stay

Or will the end be like the start
with screams and tears to be apart

But still she wouldn't hear the sneers
he yelled into her virgin ears

Just listened then to the sound of birds and
thought upon their cheerful words

Because she knew she too could fly and, though
still grounded, refused to let her dreams all die

So she smiled at the locked door
and imagined places she could soar
With a peace she could always feel
with a peace satan could never steal

AWAY
AWAY

So far away

Little star
Little star
Brace yourself for another scar
Little star
Little star
Look upon the earth so far

Why do you deceive yourself
pretending to be in right health

Star-begotten you can't endure
in this place your end is sure

Her own voice this time she heard
and finally the sorrow stirred

Her faith in herself was so strong that it's sword
was forged so sharp and long

And when she raised that sword to slay the
enemies that wished to have their way

She saw herself in it's cold form and fell prey to
a quick storm

For the face she saw was bleak. so scared, and
hurt and pale and weak

So she fell and deeply cried
that very night her pure soul died
Sadly her own sword had lied
not showing her what was inside

AWAY
AWAY

So far away

[[Currently Speechless]]it seems as if each and every world holds its own depth,the words in this poem were unexplainably beautiful its something about the way in which you pieced it together that makes your writing style shine above the rest---the concept is phenomenal----PRiNCE
