my body is covered in scars
invisible to the eye
except for the ones I added last night
when I wanted to say goodbye

my heart is filled with holes
some big, some small
they were drilled and scooped by many
even those I used to call
mine

for when last night I tried to sleep
all my efforts came only to meet
with thoughts of when I could not catch
that falling, falling star
and when last night I tried to sleep
all I could think was how I couldn't keep
I couldn't keep them from
falling

I tried and tried but I couldn't
I couldn't catch my falling star
so as she plummeted towards the earth
I added another scar

so when last night I tried to sleep
I added another for her
so the constellations across my skin
will always, always remember
her
