The Star

I was a dead star my entire life,

A Black Hole nestled beneath my ribs where my heart should've been,

Pushing away every bit of love before it could touch the walls I'd made.

 

I learned to exile those who got close—

How to warp time so the "hurt" stayed infinite

And the "hope" was just a thought I’d already swept away.

Then you drifted into my "orbit,"

Not as a burden, but as a star yourself.

 

You didn’t fear the trauma where my mind meets the dark;

You knew that Two Worlds Colliding doesn't just destroy—

They burst into flames,

Forcing my heart to burn until it is finally clean.

 

Now, love is a Constellation of my Scars.

It is the "raw, jagged edge" of my heart

You helped me learn to let people in instead of collapsing,

even if it's over now.
