it's surreal, the space between sleep and waking the greyzone before the sandman fills our eyes with his sweet poison before they water, saccharine tears welling up and absolving us of sin we forget which secrets are destined to be kept inside; despite earlier inhibitions we decide not to lie and in the morning we regret the things we said we were stars last night we scintillated, we illuminated the bricks around us we brought happiness to the cement we were stars and i was a comet- i fell, but before i hit the ground, i wished for validation; i wanted someone to tell me my sin was okay but i petered out, became watered down and the tidal wave pushed the beach's arms aside- i crashed, and i did not care for the aftermath. i do not wish to see you if you still shine brighter than i- not when i still miss my own light. i apologize for the trickery- i know i said i was fine, but i was falling when you met me.

do not wish upon broken stars
