Supernova Heartbreak

I have memorized your cries;
etched them in different skies.
You told me you’re not a star,
but within your lovely scar,
there are burning galaxies
kissing your complexities.

You’re the light I’ve been waiting.
You’re the secret universe
my black hole heart’s been building
I’ve never stopped believing
that after a thousand light years,
you’d stop and swallow my fears.

But I know it’s all over
when your arms wrapped around her.
I know; some love fades faster
than a dull meteor shower.
Tired of chasing comets for so long,
Dearest, when will you stop and sing this song?
