trouvaille and sunlight

the wildest moon

i know the stars
would be jealous
if you were to be mine
alone.

thus, i would carry
all the silvery dust
the world forbids me to own.

so they pulled me
away from you.

pull me down,
i can still make myself go up
just to see you
hold you
then lose you again.

it was enough to
drive you home.

we danced the whole night,
you said i looked nice while smelling my cologne.

how can you sway with the
paces of my feet,
then shatter me afterwards? 

my heart left me,
stayed at your porch floor
as you say no
after i confess.

if it did left me,
why is it still heavy
in my chest?

i didn't mean to look at you
with anger,
rage,
frustration,
when you carried
a galaxy in those eyes.

i could not touch
even the fingertips of
your soul.

there's nothing to do
but to pick up the heart that dropped
that's now twice smaller
than the first time
it beated for you.

i understand
with how little the heart i carry
make you forswear every bit of me.

by dint of it
i now rather
be one of the many stars
watching you shine

from afar.
