The sky dropped to the ground

And nobody even noticed

I collected the stars at my feet

And put them in my pocket

Broken orbs of light

Caught up in string

Turning into stardust

Inside my fabric locket

And the world felt sad

Broken and confused

It was dark and cold

Just an empty socket

The day you were born

You painted a new sky

And all that stardust lept

Skyward

Like a thousand dozen rockets
