No Flashlight

I ate a star last night
It lit me up inside
And now when I try to leave
I can never really hide
And no matter what I say
And no matter what I do
I’m left a questioning quivering mass
Because I think the star ate me too

I ate a star last night
It burns me up within
A million alien skies aglow
From underneath my skin
It’s ancient and it says
It’s ancient and so bright
My flaws are shuddering shivering now
Because I think this may be my last light

I ate a star last night
It promised me the world
Now I’m losing my direction
As my reality gets swirled
I’m lost without its guidance
I’m falling over my own feet
Because now I’m seemingly seamlessly failing
Because I’m wallowing in my defeat

Goodness! You've been away for awhile... are you coming back??

Unique, yet so understandable... feelings we all have, I think. Hardly anyone can put together words in this way. (Wonder if your avatar is interfering with people's reading of your words?)
