This is me leaning into my melodramatic side instead of away, which is my more normal tendency.
Lyrics:
I can see you
little comet
and I wonder did you know
When life pulled you
from your orbit
and you first began to glow?
Bright and aching
like the dawn,
and did you know what was to come?
No? Do you even know what you're running from?
Do you remember when the sun first touched your face
stripping flesh away, how strange it seemed that it didn't hurt at all?
It felt like waking after sleeping in for days
To find your wings had dried and now you might escape
Aren't you lovely
torn to pieces
spilled across a moonlit sky
by the weight of
expectations
from a world that wants to see you shine?
In a thousand pieces
bright and clear
a scar across a star-lit dome
Go, little comet go
Anywhere but home
