I lived my nights with a distracted gaze, longing to one day see something more than extinguished stars and a moon that avoided my gaze.
I lived my days with a lost gaze, knowing the sun would never shine bright enough.
I lived my afternoons with a calm gaze, knowing the sun would set, only to await another disappointment from the moon.
In the end, I lived to live, without breathing, with muffled heartbeats reminding me that the feeling of suffocation was the only interesting thing about my day.
I died the night a star so bright appeared that it overshadowed sunrise, sunset, and nightfall. I died in your eyes, so dark that they made me pay more and more attention to their brilliance.
I died, for and by you, my longed-for star. And I was never so sure I wanted to do it a thousand times more.
