Empty Pocket
A poem about your beaming starlight haunting me

You are a star
Oh so far
I tried to reach out
Tried to hold you in my hand
As I stood on the beach with my tip toes in the sand
But no attempt to reach you could ever be enough (Or am I not enough?)
You're beaming starlight has left me haunted
All I wanted
Was to safeguard you in my pocket
It's that starlight in you I've admired
But my arm is now tired
I won't reach out anymore
(I deleted your number again. I finally get it this time. I won't reach out anymore. I'm sorry I was such a bother.)
