her lips
are saturn’s rings.
her eyes
are black holes;
her vantablack pupils pull me in.
her touch
is colder than neptune’s surface
but somehow always warms me inside.
it seeps through my intergalactic highway of veins
and takes the nearest exit
to my heart.
her tears
are the ice found on mars.
(she freezes and hides them
so that others cannot tell
how she’s slowly breaking inside.
how she’s slowly dying out.
how she’s slowly losing orbit.
but i can tell
and it kills me
because i am only a human on earth,
and she is the entire galaxy;
she has too many people to worry about
so she would never notice me
and how much i worry about her.)
her mind
is the part of the universe
that remains unobserved.
she is the cosmos, the planets, the stars;
she is everything.
(no amount of atronomy classes
can teach me so much about the cosmos
as spending time with her can.)
