I am one among the Stars

This was it, wasn’t it? I thought to myself.
I was content, but my greed never could be.
I missed—the noise of the construction, I missed.
I missed the warmth of a loved one.
All they said was a lie.
There is no place to look above or below from.
This was it. This was the end of me.
And this time, there was no coming back—
Not as a crow, not as a leopard, not as grass.
All of me will be spoken of until no more,
Remembered and cherished until forgotten.
The land where I first cried, walked, loved,
Danced, laughed, kissed, and grew old—
Here I lie, on a piece of it that I no longer belong to.
I lived here long, I loved,
And forever shall belong.
