Uncertainty

You were a sun

bright and mistifying

the first to treat me right in a while

and I'd be lying

If I said I wasn't wracked with guilt

for being the moon

always rotating back to you

I know it feels too soon

to say I crave your presence

and I think I might

want it eternally

yet here is my plight

I might need someone

more like the Earth

constant and consistent

eyes full of mirth

and adoration for me

someone to revolve my life around

while I engage the tides of his affection

and he pulls me in and helps to ground

me and my worry-full mind

but now I am stuck

staring into the abyss

feeling out of luck

in the deafening silence

aching to close the distance

between my Sun and I

what if this is the wrong stance

to take as I ponder

our time together

I don't want to burn

up in your atmosphere...

Or what if I am the Sun

granting light and life

as everyone I ever like or dare to love

is constantly spinning away from me

as I float in the void

surrounded by my sorrow and loneliness

only to one day flicker out in a stunning instant?
