I TRIED TO EAT THE STARS ONCE
I READ ABOUT A BOY WHO TRIED TO TOUCH THE SUN
I DIDN'T READ ABOUT THE PART WHERE HE FELL
I DON'T LIKE SAD THINGS & THAT WAS SAD
SO I DIDN'T READ IT
I MADE MY OWN WINGS
OUT OF FLOWER PATTERNED SHEETS
THAT SMELLED FAINTLY OF MY LOVER
(I DO NOT REMEMBER WHICH ONE
I SPEND NIGHTS LAYING ON BATHROOM FLOORS
TRYING TO FEEL SOMETHING)
I TIED IT AROUND MY THROAT
LIKE A FLOWER─NOOSE
AND CLIMBED ONTO THE ROOF
MY HANDS WERE BLOODY
FROM THE CREVICES IN THE BRICKWALL
IT TASTED LIKE RED CHERRY HONEY
I STOOD AT THE EDGE OF THE ROOFTOP
WITH MY FLOWER NOOSE AND MY
COLD HANDS
I LOOKED AT THE STARS
SCATTERED LIKE FRECKLES
(LIKE YOUR FRECKLES
DO YOU REMEMBER THAT TIME WHEN I
KISSED ALL OF THEM?
FROM YOUR CHEEKS TO YOUR THIGHS.
YOU HAVE A LOT OF FRECKLES)
THE MOON WAS CRYING
AND I KNEW WHY, I THINK
SHE MISSED HER SUN
SHE MISSED HER LOVER LIKE I MISSED MINE
I LOOKED DOWN
AND SIGHED
AND
HOPED THAT PERHAPS I'D REALLY FLY
LIKE THE BOY DID
(WHAT WAS HIS NAME?)
A NOSE BLEED OOZED
IN MY MOUTH
DISGUSTING I WAS DISGUSTING
BUT IF I COULD FLY
COULD THAT MAKE ME PRETTY?
SO I JUMPED
AND FLEW
FOR A MOMENT GOD FOR A MOMENT
I WAS ON FIRE
I WAS DRINKING THE STARS
LIKE I USED TO DRINK HIS SKIN
UP AND UP AND UP SWALLOWING
IT ALL
DEVOURING
THE WIND TASTED LIKE HIS SKIN
TOO
HOT AND STICKY
AND I WAS ON A HIGH
OF HIM
AND THE WORLD
AND THE STARS BEGAN TO FALL
FALL
FALL
FALL
BUT IT WAS NOT THE STARS
DYING FLYING DESCENDING
WITH SHARP TEETH AND
SHARP TEETH
SHARP TEETH
IT WAS
ME
─THE STARS GATHERED ME UP AND BROUGHT ME HOME AND I FELL IN LOVE AND THEY CALLED US MOON GIRL AND SUN BOY (HE FLEW TOO CLOSE, I FELL TO FAR)
haha i have no idea what this shit is im too emotionally tired to actually try today.
unedited.
