Star Dust

In another world,

A dimension near or far.

I once began as whole-

A shining, blissful star.

As gravity gave out

And gave life to shooting stars-

I watched in awe and dreamed one day,

Of a world not mine-

but Ours.

And then there was you

Radiating from afar

An aura of a different hue.

Inspiration,

(or so they say)

Pulled me in

Drew me closer-

Lit a fire

Burned through night-

And created day.

I crashed, headfirst-

And straight into you.

Then everything dark

turned brilliantly blue

Explosions and chaos

Consumed the sky.

Anything living here

Most certainly would die.

I grinned at the thought.

For it would be

Just me and you.

Bound together,

Forever.

Now I’m haunted

Because I remember.
