stars

its 1 am and i get taken back to that day

the sunshine glowing on your smooth skin

inside the gallery the walls drenched with art

i saw myself staring relentlessly at your shadow

in the corner a work of art was

living and all i knew was that the

divine taste of your name made

my heart beat for the first time

wine red lips the mystery no one dared to dream about

in the background the paintings became black and white

and when you smiled so softly the world stopped dead

the statues behind you no longer the standard for beauty

in a room full of arts the only one i could see

was the one that could never stay in my life

an impressionist painting under perfect lights

abstract art tasted bittersweet in another realm

your iris made of black marble stones

splattered with paints of gold and silver

like feathers illuminated in the wind

i looked into your eyes and saw a universe

fireworks exploding inside a dark abyss

the sky was filled with a thousand stars

your scent forever carved inside my heart

stars entangled with beautiful darkness

fabrics dipped in rich paint

framed in metallic borders

stained glass fell like rain

became one with my skin

the bristles of paintbrush soft

sketched out my whole world

in your eyes i was hooked on the rush of

running away in the middle of the night

hitchhiking on peach trucks and stargazing

constellations weaved in your black hair

a clear sky and falling asleep in the sound of

rain imagining if i could wake up next to you

the twists and turns of a small rural town where

we could roam free and no one knew our names

candlelights and thunderstorms and black coffee

empty markets and parking lots and late at night

in a car towards the horizon the windows down

feeling like we could conquer the world alone

but my life unfolded in your glance

and im losing my own and only war

memorizing every inch of your shadow

inside the gallery was the start of an end

but i’ve never felt more alive than the night

i was killed by the once in my lifetime

if you could see yourself through my mind

i swear you would fall for your every move

you are the masterpiece no one could decipher

the mystical beauty that feels so close yet so far

2am and outside my window a sky full of stars

i’m drunk on the specks of light in your eyes
