24.

I am frantically trying to grasp you,

but your body and essence are slipping through my fingers.

No wonder you shone with such evervesance, you are made from the fragments of the stars and the moons that surround us.

Dancing around my soul like a firefly in a glass jar.

You and I are both children of the stars,

but you have always shone brighter than I have dared to dream.

Stars hold gravity and you are my star,

I am forever and always in your orbit, running circles around you while I admire what keeps me grounded and moving.

But I am worried.

Stars always burn out,

so when do I implode?

The black hole that consumes and prowls around my house made of flesh grows bigger and uglier by the day.

You are an ever burning beauty,

I am constantly ravaging that and those around me.

Chasing.

Yearning.

Crying.

Longing.

Maybe you are the fire that I’ve been looking for.

Our collision meant to set fire and devour everything in the galaxy.

I look at you and see my entire world in your eyes.

We are the stardust on earth, fragments falling through time and space. Together on and on and on for eternity.
