Star-Crossed Poem by Brian Hinckley

He leans into her
only to find she's gone.
His heart falls
shattering on the cold ground.

He walks away
wondering what he's done.
He walks away
never to be seen again.

His memory lingers
in the hearts of his friends.
His memory lingers
in the heart of his love.

She never meant to leave
she wanted to stay.
She pushed him away
knowing his heart she would cleave.

Now as two stars
they crossed quietly in the night.
They both cry for what was
and what can never be again.
