Stardust IV



Tell me,  darling,  do you know                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      what it feels like to see                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              all of the stars fall from the sky?

Because that is what it feels like, watching the

light leave your eyes as the sadness in

your bones floats up from somewhere deep inside of you.

My dear,  I tell you that                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          you can tell me anything,  not for the satisfaction of                                                                                                                                                                                   my own curiosity,  but for the sake of your own sanity.

My love, do not bottle up your stardust,

but tell me of your troubles and together

we can fashion galaxies

with what it means to

love and to be loved,  not what it means

to wallow alone in despair.
