story of my life

that night, sparks flew

sharp stings on my tongue

and a mouth full of blood

barren land, blood-stained skin,

explosion hummed lifeless whispers

i was the ashes born from despair

as they carried your body away

i ran my tongue across the edge

of the knife you once gripped

wanting to savor the last of you

a hundred years later the first drop

of rain dissolved in the deserted land

blurred visions in a haze, the rain

broke into rivers of torment, cut

through worlds chasing after you

i’ll find a way across the entirety

of our universe to flow beneath

your grave, drained and bloom

white roses from your tombstone

rivers became rivers of galaxies,

i met you at the universe’s edge

until every star had exploded into

smoke clouds, this time fading lights,

i fell for you in the absence of life

a galaxy forever spinning alone

amidst the hollow coldness, i was

the stardusts that turned blue

as i drowned myself in your veins

in another life you found me

on an old dusty bookshelf

read me through, once in a

lifetime and that was enough

missing you was more than enough
