Can A Star Be Forgotten?

Can a star be forgotten?
Admired, loved, and desired
then ripped from the soul like a toxin?
A memory blazing like a glorious fire,
beset by the gods and their desire
to watch the star burn.

Deep within we all contain
a physical phenomena,
particles of stars in molecular train
fallen from strata
and formed from chemical reaction
to create something human.

To forget it's undeniable presence
is to willingly deny it's effect
on what is essentially humanly essence.
So how can one forget,
a star's glorious effect
and it's light cast with pride?

Though your light does not shine
no more upon me and my life,
I once held in kind
a love sharper than any knife
but broken by strife
and left to stand in shadow.

A night enlightened by light
but for someone else's sky.
How envious am I of the sight
of another dancing within your eye.
And no matter how hard i try
I cannot control your light.

How can I let go
when you continue to shine bright
emitting an ephemeral glow
conquering darkness with sight
yet leaving me without light
but still within your shine?

So how can i forget
the light once so blessed
the warmth once set
and a love so obsessed
for a star without duress?
No, i shall never forget.
