what a way to go

u

I think of the first time I saw you
I accidently swallowed all the stars
when you said hello
The third time you kissed me
and I mean really kissed me
the moon fell from your parted lips
and rolled down the back of my throat
and that night, the first time
I pushed my skin against your own
in a clumsy try of tangled sheets
I felt the sun radiating from somewhere
deep inside the marrow of your bones
Now I think of the last time I saw you
and the things you said as you were leaving
you were born with the entire
god damn universe inside of you
and you chose to give it away in
pieces to people who never cared
enough to name constellations
after you. You could burn brighter
than the whole fucking sky, if you
wanted, I’ve seen it.  but you’re
just content being a single star
I’ll never understand you
