STAR YOU ARE

by MANJIT SINGH - Virgo

THE STAR YOU ARE



YOU ARE A STAR
MILLIONS OF MILES AWAY
YET YOU SHINE UPON ME
LIKE THE GIRL NEXT DOOR

YOU EMIT LIGHT
THE OTHERS ABSORB IT
I SEND A SIGNAL 
AND YOU IGNORE IT

ALTHOUGH YOU'RE THE STAR
I FEEL ALIENATED
YOU'RE THE GRAVITY
BUT I CANNOT FLOAT

TRAVELING TO YOU
TAKES YEARS
BUT YOUR PULL
IS GREATER THAN MY SPHEAR

I ORBIT AROUND YOU
YET MANY OTHERS TOO
BUT YOU'LL BE MY RED GIANT
AND SWALLOW ME FIRST
