wishing upon a star
we’d become separated by no fault of our own
unable to remember if it was due to gunfire
or mother nature herself
out back the horses are long gone
having escaped before the doors swung shut
galloping faster than the wind
their hooves barely touching the ground
from what I’ve learned things may never die down
& those stars shining ever brighter
will one night once again be wished upon
