Addicted to your Alchemy

I am an equinox of repentance 
            glinting base metal
    upon arrival
        already disappearing into time
reacting at my core
     when exposed 
            to your mere existence 

                 what am I?

      surely changed
             most definitely longing
 distilled upon entanglement 
           willing to destabilise 
     whenever you wish
  foremost ~
      addicted to your alchemy 
         orbiting 
until                                           *           *
   I'm too fragile to reform         *
                s c a t t e r i n g  into stardust      *
    to gaze upon you                *                   *
              from a billion vantage points         *
          for a trillion years                             *
       until I once again settle
                           in your domain
                   willing for completion

Ink Empress May 14, 2026 at 3:41 AM the opening line here itself won me over! Wow! What even! What kind of sorcery is this? Im left spellbound and in awe!
