Halo of Stars

How hallow is your heart
After you give it away
And they take take take it
Wrecklesly?

How violent is your silence
Rattled between your ears
As they say say say things
Carelessly?

Move your lips
Your words trapped behind your tongue
Break the mold when nothing fits
Want it all, end up with none
Don’t give up now when you’ve come this far
Say what you really want

Trace each scar with your eyes
Memorizing each battle you fought and won
Let the ghosts that haunt you die
Take them out with your holy gun
Guided by the stars we’re born under
Protected by a halo of stars

They say it’s destiny
They say it’s meant to be
Why won’t I surrender to fate
And float on clouds of faith
And fall in line like everyone else?
Guess it’s not for me

How big is the mess we make
After we gave our all to create it
As we make make make love
Intentionally?

How deep can we fall in this galaxy
After we spent centuries to end up here
As we lay lay lay here
Endlessly?

We say it’s destiny
We say it’s meant to be
Why am I surrendering to fate
Floating on these clouds of faith
And falling into someone else?

Trace each scar with your eyes
Memorizing each battle you fought and won
Embrace the mess you tried to hide
Guided by the stars we’re born under
Protected by a halo of stars 
  a halo of stars


Love Always,
Lainey
