They say that love
Can be traced within our stars,
That no void is vast enough
To come between our scars.
They say many things, and yet
We still trek in light years,
Leaving tracks of space dust
From warp drives fueled by fears.
Just one sound, one outcry,
And here I am, hovering just outside
Your orbital path, wondering—
Dare I cross this Great Divide?
They say our love
Can bridge the deepest scars,
But even the brightest stars are dimmed
When locked by demons behind bars.
So I move across your path
As you brave my stormy skies,
And I gaze at the promise of starlight
In your darkest, fathomless eyes.
