reach for the stars

i reach for the stars but they're falling i catch one in my hand and i can hear its heartbeat dying no one ever cares that they're running out of time all they ever want to do is bask in their shine

i reach for the sky but it's crying the teardrops hit my face and i can feel my own start slipping no one bats an eye when the sky beings to weep but they do so much for me that i've reserved my tears for sleep

i reach for myself but i'm fading the person in the mirror doesn't know that they are failing when the blood begins to seep into the dam that's filled with tears and the moments that last mere seconds feel like years
