• Broken Wishes

    Wish upon the falling star
    Oh, wow, it’s very far.
    Just a few million miles between us.
    Little star, we have much to discuss.

    I’m very unhappy with your service,
    And you’re starting to make me nervous.
    I’ve been wishing every night,
    The same wish, the same dream.
    Was this star not right?
    Do I need to choose another ball of light?
    If so, alright.

    Okay, new star.
    I’ve searched the sky all night
    Just to find you.
    This time, I hope I’m right.
    I had the biggest and brightest
    Of you all.
    But now I’ve chosen the slighest;
    I wanted someone small.

    Little star, can you help me?
    Help me with my wish.
    It’s been broken for a long time now,
    Drown in the lake with all of the fish.
    But I think it can be saved,
    With a little help from you.
    If I promise to behave,
    Would you sprinkle your magic dust upon me,
    So I can finally be free?

    Little star, will you answer my plea?
    Little star, can you handle this task?
    Little star, can you handle me?
