I would rather you remember me as a star

Worshiping me for sewing solar systems together

Blinding, searing, a white dwarf

One rotation away from exploding

Consuming even black holes in all of their might

I would rather remember you as a lightning storm

Striking, lighting me aflame, electrocuting

Brightening up my world for only seconds,

Giving me just enough to stick around

Teasing, taunting, tormenting

Blackening my flesh, you ate away like acid

You burnt out my stitches then blamed me

For falling apart

But instead I'll remember you for your waters

Feeding, rejuvenating, growing me stronger

And you'll remember me for my willingness and understanding

For drinking your rainstorm even when we both knew it was polluted
