Star

They clap and cheer,
Knowing not who you were,
Laughter, character,
Another drama, another liar.
Dancing on the stage of dust,
The queen of fake and lust,
Silenced sin in the dark,
They drink until you're drunk.
As clear as painting,
You are anything but nothing,
The colors, the price,
Only seen by blinded eyes.
Shine, my queen dry and dreary,
Cry my queen, pray they could stay,
Drop the crown, put put the light,
Your fire wasn't at all bright.
Another night, another star,
Another story gone too far,
Another fantasy dreamt in sorrow,
Until the sun comes tomorrow.
