Stardust In Your Hair

Our story wasn’t heaven
our ending even worse
my spaceship now flies solo 
across the universe

if there’s any life on Mars
I haven’t got a clue 
the only thing I know for sure 
is I’m still loving you 

searching through the galaxy 
for stardust in your hair 
we lost our love forever 
our hearts beat no more there

flying through the universe  
with orbits in my eyes 
no twinkle star to wish upon
or wipe away my cries

the time is passing by 
and I am growing old 
you are always on my mind 
my heart just won’t go cold 

we left one million miles behind 
your love has all gone 
I haven’t reached a planet yet 
to land my spaceship on 

searching through the galaxy 
for stardust in your hair 
I lost your love forever 
your heartbeat’s no more there

flying through the universe 
I maybe won’t survive 
the silence of your memory
it’s there that I arrive 

                               ~Shane Golden

There are tears in my eyes after reading this :-) x Login to Reply Elaine Perrin Date: 10/22/2019 1:37:00 AM I am so very sorry to hear of your tragic losses Shane. Sending love and hugs and I look forward to reading more of your work :-) x Shane Golden Date: 10/21/2019 9:17:00 PM Awww... thank you so much for the kind words. I was hoping there would be others who could connect with it. I wrote it for my mother and my ex. I lost them both at the same time. My mother was killed in a car wreck last year...(her husband of five years drugged her so she’d fall asleep at the wheel on her way to work... for insurance money). One month later my 7year relationship abruptly ended with the person who I thought was my soulmate... never saw either one of these losses coming! I love sci-fi so I wove all of it together. So that’s the backstory... and it’s only the second poem I’ve ever written! So thank you again for the kind words! I sincerely appreciate the time you spent reading it and reaching out. XO
