Collapsed Breaths

You found my frozen tears along the edges of the Milky Way, gently placing them in your pocket heart as you followed the trail of my devastation.

As you stood in front of me, your tender heart glistening from the droplets of my soul, you whispered,

“In the dark, I can hear your galaxy faintly beating…”

At that moment I choked on the countless particles of Saturn’s rings as my chest expands from collapsed quiet breaths.

You awakened the heart of a dying star.

I was changed.
