Selene

there was no moon out the night i met you

it was like it had been swallowed whole, hidden

underneath the night sky. and with it, everything

was swallowed in its darkness. no stars peeked out,

no streetlights flickered, there was nothing except

absolute oblivion. i was losing myself in that oblivion.

can i sit next to you?

it's lonely sitting by yourself.

but. then i saw you. and it was like the world lit up.

there were constellations in your eyes, supernovas

clinging to your cheeks. comets tangled up in the

strands of your hair. you were mesmerizing, as if

you were the one who had taken the night sky.

what's your name?

my name is selene.

i only saw you when the night sky was barren,

only saw your smile when everything around

was enshrouded in pitch black. but you were

always shining, always bright when everything

was dark. it was as if you came in my darkest times.

i'll come visit you.

so you won't be lonely anymore.

and i should've realized it then.

the reason why the moon and stars were swallowed

into oblivion the nights i saw you. the reason why

shooting stars shot across your irises. the reason why

it seemed like you stole the briliance of the night. i should've

realized that you and i were destined to be starcrossed.

do you know what that constellation is called?

it's called lyra.

only i realized it too late, and you were gone by then.

we were never meant to be. and i am left grasping for you

in my oblivion.

my name?

my name is sol.
