I notice
that your eyes shine as though they’re made of
supernovas.
I then wonder if my subconscious made this metaphor
intentionally, comparing them to dying stars.
You’re a dying star, collapsing and burning up in your own
toxicity. The most beautiful people always do;
they’re breath-taking and illuminating, exploding with
light and grace.
And then they die, they fade away with nothing left but a
fingerprint in the sky,
hooked around another star like a promise. Like rebirth.
I’m wrapped up in simplicity and spun around a spool of
chaste sincerity that you just begged to shatter,
loosening my ties so I’m stretched out on display, pulled
taunt with the threat of tearing.
I never unraveled; you never attempted to unravel me.
Your comets tail never crossed paths with my hair-thin
thread,
though I always thought you had the most interesting hands,
always open to accept the world.
Like nebulae. Like new beginnings. Like
life.
