i saw a beautiful star in the night sky.
while staring at it from a far distance
under the moonlight,
i was mesmerised by its luster,
inspired by the light it gave.
as i got closer and closer,
i fell in love with the pulchritude
of its flaming infernos.
as the distance between us slowly started diminishing,
i stood there still smiling,
thinking,
*"someday, you'll be the death of me"
perhaps i was too blinded by its bright blaze to realize this sooner
