Stars and Vengeance

Boys have stars in their eyes while men have vengeance in their hearts, Stars light up your life for a short while, They bring you comfort on dark and lonely nights, Their warmth keeps you safe at times you feel lost in the dark, Stars fade though as do their warmth, What once was a safe place to fall now becomes a dark pit to crawl out of, Vengeance is like a slow poison one has an addiction too, Its sweet honey coats your lips, Its spice dances across your tongue, You forget what you are playing with is dangerous, You drink it slowly enjoying the thrill it gives, Yet you pay no heed to the damage the poison causes as it corrupts your mind body spirit and soul, Which to choose is a question that flits through a hazed mind and blinded eyes, A choice is made and it is come to this, I choose the sun, I choose the land, I choose the air, And I choose the spirit, I am washing away the stardust and cleansing my soul of vengeance.
