Falling Star

I of all people know
To never reach too high
For I'm most likely to lose
My balance and fall
But at one time
No star was too far
For me to cling to
A hope on the wings of a prayer
Expectation is a four letter word to me
Scorched by disappointment
When my star finally fades
But it was I to blame for expecting
It to forever illuminate
My hopes, dreams, and desires
Cast aside once more.
