‘Cutthroat Planets and Stars’

When the world meant something,

a mirror mirrored a mirror:

She found the sun hiding out in the recesses of his eyes

Especially, after he'd cry over spilling devil tears

She was the moon that spoke of sharing the dawn despite her trouble from the light;

On the horizon, two hearts were thawing quickly and rising

Releasing their fears and gods,

found living within every mortal thing,

they bonded together,

and in their first kiss came the sounds of breaking chains

(laughing aloud from relieved resentment)

Their Neverland in the distance,

for a different universe,

coming closer,

where the sun smiled for the moon,

and not just for when it was approaching

But in a matter of time,

force came quickly crashing between them

(as force often does)

So instead,

a total eclipse of the heart;

the deep-end debuted,

trying to redefine what they really meant to one another when it'd ask,

"What about the planets and stars?"
