Meteor Shower
Your stars are falling gracefully,
but mine are crashing.
Your resentment is painfully justified.
But my love is too.
thoughts swarm the universe
the world I created in my own head
where you read me your verse
and I add another
a world where I don’t have to wait
for your stars to follow mine
Or some sort of fairytale fate
because we’re effortlessly aligned
I tell you
“my thoughts are like a meteor shower”
you tell me
“meteors crash”
But they’re also radiant
creating a beam that’s hard to ignore
so I don’t mind if we crash
even if you embed your stars into my mind
