I have nothing left
But the ashes
Of our memories
Sifting through the dust
Desperately searching
For meaning
To this destruction
That has come
And burned a wasteland
through my heart
A dying star
Swallowing love and galaxies whole
Searing skin and soul
I thought we would
Hold forever fused together
In a melting of spirit and body
The joy we shared
Eyes glinting laughter
Lighting our evenings
with warmth and care
Did “us” mean nothing to you?
Was I only some time to waste
Playing with matches while
You searched for your North Star?
You said you’d burn for me
Until all the lights died in the sky
Now here I am
Brittle and breaking
As I sift through the ashes of us
