Lightning Bolts and Superstar Dreams

When the lightning bolt flashed,
They called you a star,
The beautiful ones found you too old fash-shunned,
Hid you from the world like a scar.

One of a kind, the pain blinds us all,
A radiance masks you in a heavenly glow.
Passion lingers then splinters away,
Just as dawn makes way for a new and better day.

In the game of love one must never lose,
Stay a step ahead, never let others choose.
The path that you make from the bed to the door,
Tell them the truth, tell them right now.
Everybody see's it, you're a tease, you're a whore.

An addict for dramatics in the worst case of the term,
Should have sat back and used those mistakes to learn.
Pity comes with no payment,
Who knew what that warning label meant?

Send caution to the wind,
Listen for its tale of heartbreak and wrong.
Journey to the ends of a soul,
A song untold, tears unshed.
