you didnt notice me when i was stardust
i ran through your fingertips, leaving makeup on your shirts,
catching chagrined thoughts on the tip of my tongue,
eating bitter and tasting sweet
you formed me into a comet;
i set your roof on fire, i collapsed timbers on your bed
my lips locked around your secrets
and i shouted to black holes that grew
in the time and space between us
you watched me when i ignited
becoming something ephemeral
an entity you needed a dictionary to define
like my vocabulary you claimed was too wide
i burned too brightly for hurt feelings but oh,
a shout in the void isn't so tidy as this,
the sweeping of lose ends
i could hurt you if i had half a mind to
but vengeance is only sweet when its forthcoming
so here it is:
i became a supernova
and you died to watch me burn
