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.
