sun, moon, stars pt ii: galaxy

so tell me

about your day

about all the happy and sad things

that happened.

my day was great.

but you’re lying.

why are you lying?

what do you mean?

don’t you see 

my smile?

empty.

foolish girl,

look in the mirror.

look at your eyes.

empty.

look at him.

look at you.

he’s the same.

you’re changed

a wisp of dust

against the ceaseless winds

against time

e m p t y.

but he makes me smile.

stop trying.

stop.

but everyone says

that we complete each other.

why can’t you let me stay?

because everyone thinks that 

we stand together

when in reality

we are galaxies a p a r t.

we are

i am

stuck in 

an illusion.
