words like constellations

Your words like constellations

turned into stardust.

They lingered

through the galaxy

that is my mind.

Your touch like moonbeams

lit me up inside.

Felt bright like the stars

but even they die.

To my misfortune,

I was merely a satellite

revolving through space.

You were a meteoroid

headed my way.

We collided.

We shattered.

That was our fate.

Damn the black hole

that devoured our pieces.

Left no trace,

we've been completely erased.
