I went to the love of my life's wedding today

I listened to her say the words that i would never be able to say,
he was the object of the love that i craved.
she looked at him with the same affectionate eyes that i gazed,
he was the one hearing: "for the rest of my days".


i went to the love of my life's wedding today

Do not speak to me of numbers,
though they seem many,
there is only one.
Do not speak to me of glories,
though they seem many,
there is only truth.
Do not speak to me of galaxies,
though they seem many,
there is only infinity.
And do not speak to me of religions,
though they seem many,
there is only love.

TOD HOWARD HAWKS.

I thought if I could swallow the stars
I’d be as beautiful as the evening sky
I tried one night    with fireflies
They burned my throat
Their legs striking at soft flesh
But my skin did not glow
No moon crawled from my eye sockets
I was left with corpses in my stomach
I soon learned I would only ever be
A cemetery
