it wasn't until the sun rose
that I realized
just how much
I was in love with the moon

I have tasted cold stars (and burned under your kiss)

I have seen fire pits of stars blazing in your eyes, felt them in the lining of your skin (and died in each one)

I have loved and hated you (and now I trace each scar with careful fingers)

And there’s only everything left in memory of you. Each piece of me.

(You are gone, but has never left)

I’m awake, but I can’t still see you.

I know forever is a longtime.
And that happy endings are for Disney,
But I really want you.
Just you, Forever

Quiet down my dear heart
And let your silence call him into your chambers

She stood before the mirror.
Her face had no scars as such.
Her heart did.
