My hands are a little clumsy
but I'll do my best for you.

How is it
that Fate
always chooses
the most beautiful of souls
to toy with?

I think she is selfish.
She wants to steal you
For herself.

She wants to tear you down
Take you away
Take you from me

So what can I do?

Every night I think of you
and the pain you must be in
It kills me inside.

I'm not about to sit here
and watch her
whisk you away

They say one thousand
cranes
can grant you
a wish.

what if i plucked stars out of the
paper night sky
just for you?


Every night
before I go to bed
I reach out into
that shimmering blanket of stars

I say my prayers
and I write down
one thing I love about you

your smile,
                 your grace,
                                   your laugh,
                                                    
the way your eyes sparkle when you're with me

please, don't go

last night
I put number nine hundred ninety-nine
in my frosted glass jar

I reach out a little farther than usual
and cup a tiny iridescent
paper star
in my hands

#1000. Giving out love without expecting a thing in return.
Dedicated to *xinsomniakydx, Miss Mia Bee, who is in the hospital right now. My thoughts are with you right now, darling. :heart:

I also had fleeting thoughts of Jay while I wrote this... *wistful*

This is a feeble offering for anyone who needs a little more hope in their life.(: 1000 paper wishing stars for you :star:

Inspired by the prompt "1000 prayers/1000 hopes" from #GuildofDeviousness.
