The First Star You See May Not Be A Star...I'm Not Your Star

Spare me the 3 words that burn your tongue
Hide them in your bones
Let your flesh dissolve
With the regrets of your last chance

I crash my car
In the wall you built for me
The sulfur smells so good to you
My ashes in your lungs - a last goodbye
Memories

We lived with our illusions
We grew up and we moved on
Now there are blood stains on our star

    This is really a grand poem, the title though long is good. But, the title doesn't sound right. 'The Stars That Burn The Faster Are Always The Brightest Ones'. In my opinion it would sound better if Faster was changed to Fastest or take out that second The to keep it making sense. Just my opinion so, you can just push it out the window if you'd like.
    I love that final line in the poem, brillant. Totally rad.
    Great poem, and thanks so much for commenting on mine.
    Peace and Love,
    Leah

    Very clever write you. I like it a lot, the part about crashing your car into a wall built by 'someone else' is awesome imagary. My thoughts are...uhm...I like it, and I guess we've all been there. Everyone gets hurt in one way or another throughout life. I'm glad you took the time to share your emotions.
