You prayed for god to take you, to save him.
He took you both instead.

(Darlings, when has a god ever been written as kind?)

He gave you a heartbeat. He gave him a tomb.

Lovers wear sunlight, but those who loved and lost are stars too close to burning out. And sometimes when I'm alone at night, I can feel my heart long for words I'd had before and feel myself on the verge of explosion, so damn close to implosion.


Stars are formed from dust and gas, it’s cold, gases become molecular in colder temperatures, (the atoms bind together) and then it’s burning. It’s factual and scientific, it doesn’t sound beautiful. But it is. It’s poetic, in the way it’s not. And while lovers alone may wear sunlight, we all carry the dust of a hope forged from a dying star. We are the universe, for but a moment we call a lifetime.

"We were stars once, too,
and will do as stars are born to do;
burn."
