Stars
I know what I want and I know what it means
But I cant find my way
I can’t find a way back to you
Somehow I just know that your skin feels like starlight.
Your eyes bathe me in an impossible glow leaving me feeling so loved and warm
But without you i’m drowning
In an unbearable heat
And it consumes me.
Leaving nothing but a pile of ash and charred bone.
From the ground I reach for you
and look up at the stars above
And I realize..
You are the stars.
You were the whole time.
An unreachable treasure,
That will never be mine.
