you left me feeling worthless, like I wasn't enough
the problem was
I was so enough
you weren't able to carry it

And when you said you loved me
I felt a rush of adrenaline
coursing through
my black & blue veins
those words struck me
like lightening
I've never felt so
dead and alive
at the same
time

I have the planets tied onto threads
that hang low onto my fingertips
I will lasso the sun and hide it away
so you won't have to see the light in her eyes anymore

I took every star I could get a hold of
& created my own constellation of love
when the sun was about to set
I grabbed the moon to summon your light

you look into her eyes with such desire
my shooting stars are as bright as hers
I promise if only you would just look
my mind isn't your earth to live on, please leave

I hope one day I could stop
staring at the stars in your eyes
to look away, to finally look up
& see the whole universe beyond my sight
