I just managed to post this song before the clock struck midnight. I was working until 10:30 pm and then the site was causing me such grief once I got the work typed up and saved. I'm sorry it took so long.

As I've mentioned in my profile, I'd like to get some things reviewed this reading week, but it will all depend on my work schedule and how much of my homework I manage to complete. I'm still trying to finish the anti V-Day fairy tale that I started (compliments of my Child's Lit. course), but because of my take-home midterm, it's still only half done. We'll se what can be done.

Note: The italicized verses are meant to be spoken softly.

No specific dedications for this one. It's basically for anyone who needs a break from the commercialist crap that is Valentines Day. Yeah...it's another heartbreak Sokai. The fairy tale one will rip apart Riku and Mitexi, I promise. And speaking of promises...

-

Waiting. Always waiting upon these emotionless sands. I'm waiting. Waiting for a sign. A sign that you remember me. Remember the promise you made. The promise that you'd come back to me...

Shattered Star

I should have known
You'd never return
A broken promise, a
hard lesson to learn

Why did you say
You'd return one day?
Holding until
"I know you will"

Made a wish
Upon a star
Hearts forever bound
No matter how far

A part of your life
You a part of mine
Hah, I should have known
You'd leave me behind

Why did you say
You'd return one day?
Holding until
"I know you will"

Played with my heart
Pulled us apart
I thought I was
Special because

Every night
I watch the sky
Every night
I wonder why

Why you left
Why I let go
Why we shut up
Refusing to show

Our hearts, our feelings
The things we kept inside
Now you've gone away
Leaving me in a lie

Tell me, Sora
Did you mean it that day
That you'd come back to me
As our connection began to fray

Are you coming back to me?
Like you promised you would?
Do I keep my faith alive?
Or let it die, like I should?

Why did you say
You'd return one day?
Holding until
"I know you will"

Played with my heart
Pulled us apart
I thought I was
Special because…because…

You promised to come back to me…
