Every Star is a Bridge to Someone’s Broken Heart

I look at the stars
And am filled with sadness
Look…
Over there
It’s the time that Johnny broke up with Suzy
And there,
The time when all you needed
Was the sweet notes of that one song
But were greeted with dead batteries and blown speakers
Some shine brighter than others
Clearly defining the traumatics  
From the melodramatic events  
But all were heartbroken
Just like I am now
You made me a promise
And I was naïve to believe you’d keep it
This isn’t the first
It probably won’t be the last
But just so you know
There’s a bag of M&M’s in my locker
Awaiting your return

Author notes

I got the title from some Thrice lyrics, because I thought it was star instead of scar, and then this was inspired.. sorry to the Band if I offend you by stealing the line!

    Hey, I really like this poem. Can't say I've heard the song before, but this poem is still great. hehe And it flows together well and tells an outstanding story. Very powerful, emotional, and descriptive write. Great job! Keep up the amazing work!
