You were like the meteor

that descended into the atmosphere

with such an incredible force,

your light so bright,

it blazed the inky black sky.

Everyone stood in awe admiring

the spectacle on the

dark shores of the night sky.

What a magnificent sight it was.

Then, all of a sudden, it came crashing

down, tearing through the

unexpecting ground, among the

admirers, without a tiny

shred of mercy.

I never understood and I think I never will.

How something so beautiful could also be so ruthless?
