I am the night sky .
I was once  a glorious morning , that turned into a radiant show of colors and promise .
But I slowly turned into darkness.
Dark and Eerie , but graciously lightened by the twinkling lights spread across the midst of my questionably drastic existence.
You were like the stars , shooting , falling and shining throughout me .
You danced upon the surface of my skin , and brightened my presence .
You took the darkness , the scariness , and turned me into a peaceful and beautiful backdrop behind the utterly disgusting world we lived in .
You used the the touch of your light to make me seem so much better .
You hid the bad things , like my thoughts and words to make me seem okay , more okay than I was .
You were like the stars in this way ..
like how they pressed light into the darkness forcing people to forget what things happen at night .
Murders , theft , **** , heart break , suicide , kidnaps , etc .
People seem to forget these things .
Just because there is light , it doesn't mean the darkness won't persevere .
Just because you managed to come into my life , bring out a slight smile now and then .. maybe even a big one , it didn't make me okay .
You were like the stars in the way they shine for so long , so bright , so beautifully .
You were like the stars in the way their light , slowly but suddenly reached the earth all in one time , and how Your appearance seemed to be around night and after night  .
You see , the soft and seemingly beautiful light brought by the stars only shines for a while.
Eventually it fades , but no one realizes because it takes approximately 50,000 years later for the light to truly go out , at least to us .
And that's only for stars closest to earth.  
The oblivious people in the world come to know later that you were gone.
Gone to them as much as you were to me .
You , just like your promises of making everything better , and how you would stay forever , Would Eventually  fade into a complete black ball of nothingness .
Or in our reality a pile full of lies .
The impressions of the light wouldn't last forever , just how your attempts to drag out the better in me would fail , then disappear all together .
You were like the stars .
The rest of the world was like the earth.
I was like the night sky .
I would fade from a beautiful morning,  to a radiant sunset , to a beautiful night sky and after billions and billions of years,  a ******* canvas of nothingness , just pure black .
Because like how the light of the stars fade ,
Your promised did to , along with your love and presence .
Sending me into the physical and emotional state of being jet - black .
Just like a starless sky .
I was once the night sky ,
Now I am the darkness .
