one day i'll swallow the sun
& explode into a thousand abysmal stars
wearing that ethereal glow
ever so gracefully
that you found so beautiful on her
that i so obviously lacked

one day i'll make a statue
your face will be frozen in happiness
& decorated in purple flowers
ever so gracefully
you'll become prosaic
wishing for reprieve, but those stars never fell

one day i'll look the the sky
but no stars will stare into me
there are no answers without questions
ever so gracefully
i'll look through emerald fragmented lenses
inhaling remnants of summer
