and i started to choke, not from the smoke of the cigarettes you seemed to love more than me, but from the decay of the flowers you left in my lungs and forgot to water.

and i couldn't see anything, tripping over those hollow words you said three months ago, trying to grasp some root or branch or some last string of love you could have for me.

my body hit the current

late lover

there were galaxies in your eyes
i reached out to grab them
but you turned away
when you turned back to face me
all that i could see was
a black hole of lies
where your heart should be
why won't you let me touch your stars
tell me all you know
show me all your scars
where did you go wrong

i guess i was too late
the starry gleam is gone
