You glowed as bright as any daytime star
When I was close, I shone and sparkled, too.
Between us, now, the distance is so far
That I perceive no light nor heat from you
Continuing to wander in the dark
I cannot just emerge into your light
No, I must reach and find my inner spark
For otherwise my life is endless night
Somewhere inside, a star's awaiting birth
If only I could get the fire to start
Reclaim my self and reassert my worth
Regain my strength and heal my wounded heart
I must ignite the passion in my soul
Allow my daunted spirit to be whole
