Highs

peto

Life showed you what it had in store 

He left you crying at the door 

With not much more than what you wore 

He's not big on goodbyes 

 

The one he always called the wife 

Found something missing in her life

A thrush before she twists the knife 

Inside it all just dies

 

Stars twinkle nightly as they must

When falling from the sky one burst 

The sprinkling of it's stellar dust

Rejuvenates dead eyes

 

The love you always knew was there 

Lit brighter than a signal flare 

That guy who tried to show he'd care

Was in for a surprise 

 

One message had been all it took 

Emotions stirring feelings shook 

No longer living like a spook 

Alert to natural highs

    Impressive work here! The way your words rhyme and the message you convey is pure talent! I also love the rhyme between the stanzas "He's not big on goodbyes"
    "Inside it all just dies" ...
