i self identify as the moon because among a million beautiful stars i am all alone and everyone says "let's look at the stars" but what about the moon
am i not as significant

now you can no longer look at the moon without hearing my name
hands toward the sky like it has something to give you

"known as the girl who looks like a sunrise"
but i'm ******* setting
and yet as it gets dark, i am also rising
me and the night sky colliding

i've lived my whole life lost when a map to everywhere i've ever wanted to go is right here on your skin

i'll melt every ******* memory like a flame to a picture we never took because you were too busy admiring my mouth over my words

i'll write your name along all the walls of rooms you stepped foot in
and burn this ******* house to the ground
let's see how warm "home" can be

i can't even drink you away
i wash away in the mouths of others
but you're the only ocean where i feel safe

i found a home in you and i'll set it on fire
i want every wall to melt
i want every bone to crack
as the house shudders underneath the flames

i'm running away from home
i don't need a sunset when i'm a sunrise
you are nothing but a shade of grey in the sky
and i'm the moon

i am beauty amongst the stars, kissing each like we're so in love there could never be another.
but there's millions and you
the sun

the sky isn't grey it's confused whether to love the sun or the moon, but jokes on you sky, they're in love with each other.
now let it rain.
