Shooting Star


It was another sleepless night
I was petrified
The thought of insomnia lurking in my mind
The cold wind filled my soul with dark desires
I couldn’t take this anymore
My inner peace has left me for good
I left my bed and moved to my roof
There I sat not knowing what to do…
Waiting... impatiently…
But for what! I couldn’t fathom…
I was looking deep into the stars
Praying for a ray of hope
Suddenly the still of the night hushed
Behold it shone bright
It was moving rapidly in the sky
This was the first time I saw something as splendid as this on a random night
It was a shooting star
I wanted to make a wish
But I realized that the only thing I’d ever wished for
Was not mine anymore… I knew that I could never have it back
I still wished for it… foolish hope…
Oh! That foul love I doth beseech for...
When will this torment come to an end?
I do not know… But one thing I knew for sure
It is a curse to be in my place!
Perhaps I have sinned in the life before...
