You sewed galaxies under my skin
So there are stars now flowing in my veins
My blood does not see them as a threat
Every part of my body will always appreciate anything you are willing to give
But stars, they  burn
They start to hurt
And for a time you would kiss them all better
Every time i was hurt, I just had to tell you
After a while, it wasn't enough
I began clawing at my skin,
Trying to rip out these horrendous things destroying me
And I began to think
How could the stars hurt me?
I mean, you put them there
You would never do anything to hurt me
And they were so beautiful
But the most dangerous things are
Brightly colored to show warnings of poison
Beautiful to attract prey
When you saw that I was trying to rip them out
You thought I was trying to rip you out
That's not what I wanted
I just want to stop the burning beneath my skin
Flesh is so fragile
I don't think you meant to hurt me
Who would think that something so amazing could cause any harm?
And I'm not sure if I mean you or the stars you gave me
After a while, I got used to the burning
It began to feel nice
A reminder of your love
I stopped asking you to kiss them better
I didn't want you to think I didn't appreciate it
And then, the stars started to go out
And I began to worry
Everyone knows that stars die, but I couldn't lose them
Losing them would mean losing you
When I told you, you replaced them
This has been going on for a while now and I'm getting scared
They're dying faster
And the sky, is running out of stars
And I, am running out of skin
