When I look up at the stars I am alone

I thought our love was like the stars

Eternal immutable shining

I thought we’d have forever

Instead of bursting into phoenix flames again

Reborn back into the awkward

Cold friendship, I’d so hated sharing

I thought we could be like the stars

Absolute resolute perfect

I should have known that burning with passion

Like we did

Only leads to collapse

Instead of firebright stars

I’m left with an ice cold black hole in my gut

That reminds me constantly, we are not the stars

We are haphazard short-lived fickle

We are over
