stargazing

our romance

was like a star


gone.

before I could ever see it


crashing into each other like debris in space

we formed a mass larger than ourselves


tangled in a nebula of lust disguised as love

afraid to let go


together we were nuclear

your energy more luminous than a supernova


but with time, your passion cooled

the fusion holding us together faded


my gaseous core ached

each time you crossed my mind


cracks, slowly forming

growing deeper and wider


every day I prayed to the night stars

pleading with them to bring you back to me


until the day came

where on opposite sides of the chasm we stood


my arm, outstretched

yearning for what once was


without emotion

you drifted away and never looked back


and when you left,


the remains of us


scattered about the cosmos.
