A Single Star

There is a tempest within my soul
A sorrowful emptiness beyond my control
A fear of going on that continues to grow
While a calm acceptance is all that I show

But winter lives within my mind
With blizzard winds so unkind
And hailstorms to harden my heart
As I wish on a star for winter to depart

I am void of all but hope from afar
Mine is the night of a solitary star
I dream of that star, alone in the sky
While always fearing that it may fade or die

My star is a light of hope
A symbol of what could be
Without the star how could I cope?
Without the star how could I see?

So I roam here with my sadness
Reflecting upon my emptiness
Always thinking of the one I love
Ruling my thoughts with the star above

A single dream amidst nightmares
Of a love that I feel for one
And if she ever accepted my love
Then my star would become a sun
