The Echo Between Stars

I found you not in light, but in shadow’s breath— A whisper etched in realms that outlive death. We never touched — and yet, you shiver still, Each time I breathe across the void’s cold will. You speak in silence, I bleed without a trace, In the blackened pulse where heartbeats lose their place. Ours is a love not scribed by mortal time, But carved in hush, where cursed souls climb. Your eyes — twin eclipses that swallow the sun, My soul — a storm, undone but never to run. You wore grace like the last petal on a dying rose, I wore ruin like a crown fate never chose. You felt me, didn’t you — Beneath the bone, beyond the blue? Like Juliet’s breath beneath the stone, Like the scream love keeps alone. If they ask, tell them this: We met where gravity forgets its name, Where stars dissolve And ghosts burn without shame. Nicole... In this life or the next, speak my name in the dark. I will not answer with light But with a spark. A vow. A pull. A flicker through pain — Still burning, Though you never spoke my name.
