We painted galaxies with our hands
Stars were created when we opened our eyes
Black holes that **** up everything started when we kissed
Planets collided and meshed together as we fumbled in bed
Asteroid after asteroid
A non stop rain of them
We shouted our words of love to the sky above
Comets of first-times cleared a path through the clouds
Small spats appeared as craters in irregular shape
Cuz darling no oneĀ is perfect
And the universe was created when we broke apart
Every morning she awoke
as he fetched cups and bowls

from the cabinet, the sounds
were gentle awakenings, like

sparrows hopping across
a window sill; oh,  so, still

and quiet the home
became.

his face ain't been slimmer
since that winter
the traces of white snow came all
falling 'round his toes tickling
and all woes seemed to vanish in the mirror
he has been so worn out
now 'days with
nostrils flared when he is awake
fighting the battles
his eros and ethos between
made gain seem like failures
trying to eat the remnants
like a self cannibal
and doubt , doubting all
especially how the hell could
he have gotten
so much thinner.
I care
But nobody else seems to
Everyone says they do, but they don't dare
And nobody knows what I go through.
Most would break their backs for each other
But for them I break my mind
Not that it wasn't horrendously damaged before this endeavor
But I break it more just to get left behind
So break a leg, break a spine
The only dreams destroyed are mine
All for them and no one cares to think
How happy I could be if I wasn't on the brink
Pushing aside my thoughts to ease their pain
Shattering my hopes to increase their gain
Does anyone realize what I do to show I care
With a broken mind and saddened stare?
