Count the Stars
by Aytalya of Stonehold


I lift my face to count the stars,
Never noticing they are
Out of reach to touch.
Though I want them so much.
But their warmth is far.

Yearning, burning, forever teasing.
Hearts get broken by another’s pleasing.

I wipe these tears from my eyes.
Love is elusive as it flies
Right under your nose
And there it goes!
Until it dies.

Yearning, burning, forever teasing.
Hearts get broken by another’s pleasing.

Vows now broken.
Were they only token?
It needed to be done.
No, I haven’t won.
Now eyes are open.

Yearning, burning, forever teasing.
Hearts get broken by another’s pleasing.

Just give it some time.
So says the rhyme:
What goes around,
Comes around.
Next heart to break, could be mine.

Yearning, burning, forever teasing.
Hearts get broken by another’s pleasing.

(Yes, this was inspired by events in the game, but I guess it works just as well IRL too)
