Stars Above

Jen Wood


Before you I was nothing
But an empty heart, tired of giving myself
Away to those who did all the taking of me
Who stole my trust and took the feeling

Before me you were nothing
But an open seed, bleeding fractions of light
Inside the darkest canyons of ire
Who stole your trust and took the feeling

The stars are up above
I think they're the light that we need
To shine upon our eyes
So that we can see what we need

I know that you have been taken for granted, my dear
But that is not why I am here
