Shining Star

Older Poems

Started out as just a friendship,

Turned out to be much more.

Didn’t expect it to have

All these consequences that I’m seein’,

But you’ve become to me,

The wind beneath my wings,

The highlight of my heart,

You’re my shining star.



Trying to break free,

Free of this life,

Trying to start living,

But I can't until my heart stops giving.

Doesn't matter if I'm happy,

Just if you are.

Because when alls said and done,

You’re my shining star.



You walked outta my life,

And then you walked back in.

All this time,

I never did know,

There was a part of you

That you never showed.



Wanted to move on,

Trying to forget the past,

But everything I’ve done for you,

You’ve done for me,

It’s flying at me fast.



Trying to break free,

Free of this life,

Trying to start living,

But I can't until my heart stops giving.

Doesn't matter if I'm happy,

Just if you are.

Because when alls said and done,

You’re my shining star.



Things’ll never be the same,

Not the way things go.

I gave you all my heart,

While you put on a show.

I want to move on,

Want to stop my heart from giving,

But I can’t seem to stop these feelings,

Not as long as you’re living.



Trying to break free,

Free of this life,

Trying to start living,

But I can't until my heart stops giving.

Doesn't matter if I'm happy,

Just if you are.

Because when alls said and done,

You’re my shining star.



No matter how it kills me,

What you put me through,

I just can’t put you away,

Let my heart take me today.



Because even if I’ve said it all,

It’s all just talk.

I just wanna see you happy,

Don’t care ‘bout me no more,

Just wanna see you happy,

Don’t care if I feel crappy,

Just as long as you’re happy.



Trying to break free,

Free of this life,

Trying to start living,

But I can't until my heart stops giving.

Doesn't matter if I'm happy,

Just if you are.

Because when alls said and done,

You’re my shining star.



I’ve realized my mistake somehow,

Realized what I did all along,

But it’s too late to change the pass,

Too late to stop this train from moving on.



I just wanna make you happy,

You’ve become my shining star.

Caus when you’re happy I’m happy,

And when you’re sad I die.

I just want to make you happy,

Because of the way I feel inside.



Trying to break free,

Free of this life,

Trying to start living,

But I can't until my heart stops giving.

Doesn't matter if I'm happy,

Just if you are.

Because when alls said and done,

You’re my shining star.



So I’ll just make you happy,

Because when it’s all said and done,

You’re my shining star.

Yeah, I’ll just make you happy,

Just want you to be happy,

‘Caus you’re my shining star.



Just want you to be happy…

Never lose that smile…

Caus if you fall,

I’ll lose it all,

‘Caus you’re my shining star.



Can’t let you fall…

Don’t wanna lose at all…

I won’t lose my shining star.



Just wanna make you happy…

… just wanna live my life…

Can’t find a happy medium…

So I’ll live with my little strife…



Trying to break free,

Free of this life,

Trying to start living,

But I can't until my heart stops giving.

Doesn't matter if I'm happy,

Just if you are.

Because when alls said and done,

You’re my shining star.



Happy, oh so happy…

When everything’s said and done…

You’re my shining star…

Author's Notes/Comments: 

Well, this is again, written in lyrical form. I went through a phase, if you can't tell. Basically, I wrote it because I stopped caring if I was happy, because I was happy if my friend's were. But ya know, it worked for a while. I'm different now, but it still will always make me happier if my friends are happy.
