How can you count the stars?

How can you count the stars?

A Poem by R.Inc$

How can you kill a man who's already dead, how can you break a man who's already been broken,

how can you steal his heart when its already been stolen, how can you count the stars when they're constantly dying and being born,

how can you hide a lie in the truth, how can tell the difference between tears and rain, how can you love so much that you hate,

how can you make more than 24 hours in a day?

How can you kill a man who's already dead,how can you break a man who's already broken,

how can you steal his heart when its already been stolen, how can you count the stars?

A dead man's eyes are still looking, so take away who or whatever he's been searching for.

A broken man can still be fixed, so take away who or whatever can make him work again.

A stolen heart can't be taken unless the owner steals it back first.

Count the stars one by one till you fall asleep, then start over the next night trying harder and harder to stay awake longer,

till the sun rises and the stars disappear.
