Starburn

Catch a falling star?
No,
Put your gaping palms away
Better to admire from afar, for
Theirs is a colder kind of light

Baby, ain't no aloe gonna help that starburn

No moth to flame shall I be compared again

(moth frozen in ice would be more accurate)

Never another starstruck lover,

Ha! the opportunities for pun are overwhelming

I'll cross my heart and hope to die

I'll stick a needle in my eye

I'll tell myself a tiny lie

To keep my heart together

The silver seen up in the sky

For them I will not even try

Those stars alive, are dead inside

Never never never

Don't catch a falling star

Or put it in your pocket

Unless you want a scorched jacket

And burns on your hips

Author notes
