Metaphorical Mumbo Jumbo

I've lost so many people

So many stars, claimed by the night.

A catastrophic explosion, a supernova.

I'm terrified of you slipping away

Fear is a black hole eating me up

From the inside out.

You are beautiful. 

You don't need me to be a constellation,

To be whole. Complete.

I wished upon a shooting star.

A firework. 

A flash of light illuminating my heart

Streaking through my mind.

I made a mistake. 

I sent you off to space.

Interstellar, Interstellar.

In a perpetual state between stars.

I'm just a space traveler, making their way

Across the galaxy looking for light. 

We look for our place in the universe 

Yours with me, and mine with you. 

That's what we are. 

Lost astronauts, tumbling through time and space.

Light finds us, light leaves us.

We survive, but are we living?

Maybe I was meant to tumble alone in the dark.

It's safe and cold. No one to hurt. 

Interstellar.

I'm a supernova.

A star shining so bright it blinds.

A catastrophic explosion. 

Catastrophe. Entropy. 

A lack of order in the universe. 

A measure of chaos.

We find each other,

We tumble through life.

We cry together,

We feel alone in the strife. 

The world is watching

As we soar far above.

Far from light,

With no one to love. 

The lie is prominent.

Love is everywhere.

Engraved in the universe,

Its You N I, kid. 

No one can hear us, 

The shouts and the screams

But when I find you

I'll no longer be,

in my constant state 

of being in-between. 

No longer interstellar, no longer lost.

Darkness abolished once and for all.

What a stellar collision.
