She is with the Constellation now

I used to be a runaway

I showed her I was

She loved that I can relax under these stars with her

I know how to make everything lazy and simple

Funny and silly that's what we were

She made the stars danced while my skin turned to static

Kissed me while I was sad, my tears turned into panic

I heard all the voices, and she turned my head

I could feel the dead rising from afar

She told me "You need to follow your heart"

I wasn't ready, I didn't want to lose her from the start!

She held my held hands

I knew I must take a stand against these creatures in the dark

She looked to the sky a single tear formed as there was thunder

I hugged her and told her "Go, get to where you belong, I let you go"

I released her from my hands

She is beyond the clouds, I knew she was looking down

I turned to the shadows, the gargling sounds of midnight

I was first overwhelmed

Covered me in lies and past desires

I just reach for the sky but I was blinded

I didn't know where my sanity went

I felt the static coming underneath my skin

Melting it from within

I was in agony, losing every part of me

I crumbled under the weight

Falling onto my face, becoming insane

It wasn't until it rained, some lights

Remembering I was loved, I was held, I was cared for even now

In a dark hour, it showered gently onto me

The static slowly became light

My flesh tore like paper in the air

Evaporating into stardust as I become a nova

Wings explode through my back

My head glitches and tears form into a halo around my head

I've become something dead as twilight yet shining as a daydreamer

Standing in my blinding light, flames in my eyes

I ran forwards with all the weight

My body sings as I'm becoming a blur defeating everything in front

When I stop, in a moment I look up as she watched from the sky

I still speak to you at night, hoping my words reach you through the clouds

Every night, I move forward becoming something brighter

Something more than just a living a star
