I burned for you until I collapsed.
Every flicker of light I gave was a prayer,
Hoping youβd look up and see meβ
Even once.
Now Iβm nothing but fading dust,
A whisper in the endless dark.
But I still remember your eyes,
How they mirrored my glow.
If dying means losing you,
Then Iβll explode again and again,
Until thereβs nothing left
But the memory of your name in my light.
