you cracked stars
lavished me in gloaming dust
beneath freckled lashes
through glimmering tips
I adored you
uncontrollably
pledged skies could not hide in your midnight eyes
still your somber head slowly shook
between powder keg’d echoes and dwindling flickers of twilight
I slashed clumsy neon scars
intoxicated
stabbed stars spat
stuttering sparks
searing gift-wrap skin
and shrivelling ribboned lust
so shamefully I cling
to your petrol soaked promises
with tinder ribs
awaiting combustion
but you always knew
I was too dewy
to ignite
and my lungs starve flames
as I gasp
knowing
only you can crack
my star shelled wish

you cracked stars
lavished me in gloaming dust
beneath freckled lashes
through glimmering tips
I adored you
uncontrollably
pledged skies could not hide in your midnight eyes
still your somber head slowly shook
between powder keg’d echoes and dwindling flickers of twilight
I slashed clumsy neon scars
intoxicated
stabbed stars spat
stuttering sparks
searing gift-wrap skin
and shrivelling ribboned lust
so shamefully I cling
to your petrol soaked promises
with tinder ribs
awaiting combustion
but you always knew
I was too dewy
to ignite
and my lungs starve flames
as I gasp
knowing
only you can crack
my star shelled wish
