The sun casts over 7 billion meaningless faces, and one soulmates glare of meteorite kisses and asteroid punches awaiting one ray to notice the 7th billion meaningless face.

Once upon a day's dream, a beautiful boy composed of pretentious revolutions and shy lunar cycles danced alongside a heavenly body by the name of Brendon. Brendon was humored by the boy's shy intentions alongside his shining heart of silver, however, fate was what caught the poor boy's soul. With glimmers of golden fame and an adoring autumn of people who could love him, he was swept away by fate over love, his beholder over a speckled future. The beautiful boy, Ryan, began to chase after them, for his fate was wrapped up in a glowing orb that could never give Brendon what Ryan offered. For Ryan, himself could only offer the boy a future showered with love that lasts after lust, something that fate could only obtain with stuck up groupies and a pileup of unread fanmail. Ryan raced across the sky and feverishly glided through the cosmos to catch up to his dearly beloved, causing reigning angst to surface with a man named Brent.

Brent found great annoyance with Ryan's "crush" due to the disturbance Ryan would cause with Brent's people on Earth. Ryan's constant chasing began to change the lunar cycles, making crop rotations last up to 14 days in darkness, with no blossoming sun to kiss the maize rows or to smoke the tobacco rings. The people of Brent were outraged with the constant repetition of their crops dying and their economies decreasing. The only thing worse than poverty, however, being the constant weeping of a guitar over the darkened society, where Ryan would simply sing...

"...Through playful lips made of yarn

That fragile Capricorn

Unraveled words like moths upon old scarves

I know the world's a broken bone

But melt your headaches, call it home..."

and with that, the town people began to revolt against Brent, finally making him step away from Earth to hover beyond the stars, where he met three shining stars by the names of Jon, Spencer, and Dallon.

Jon was the first to feel pity for the man, simply telling Brent, "Give me one wish and I will shoot in the atmosphere for all restoration of empathy and sympathy."

Brent grimaced, however, didn't hesitate to answer, "How poetic, truthfully, but what I truly desire is for the people of my town to find peace before protest. I want you to take the voice of the wretched moon, for his songs are only causing my village great distress." And with that, Jon shot through the sky, strumming on comets before he evaporated into the night. Brent smiling as Ryan's constant singing faded as Jon's burning light dimmed.

Spencer was next to feel pity for Brent, for he had understood Brent's rage toward his best friend, Ryan's, selfishness, kindly telling Brent, "Give me one wish and I will shoot in the atmosphere for all restoration of selflessness and benevolence."

Spencer was then greeted with an evil smirk mixed with toxicity, Brent bargaining to stir, "Secondly, what I truly desire is for the people of my town to find stability before technicalities. I want you to stone the poor man who calls himself Ryan, for then will my town be in sync with every shadow Ryan casts." And with growing guilt building up inside Spencer, Spencer bounced through the sky, drumming on meteorites before erupting into the night.

Brent beamed as the shadow casted upon the Earth aligned with the stars of the night, halting Ryan from his chase. Ryan thrashed and jolted as he tried to break free from the fourth wall before falling into Brent's grasp, Brent growing bigger and taller and stronger with the power of Ryan's fate in his hands. With Spencer's faulted wish, Brent twisted Ryan to face him as he grabbed an upcoming meteor soaring through the sky. The meteor of deep fuschias and rich indigo's crashed into Ryan's skull several times, leaving craters the size of Brendon's wide eyes. Ryan's craters and minor brain damage caused him to collide with the stone, Ryan becoming a large stone statue. With Brent's ignorance satisfied, Brent threw Ryan into the atmosphere to become the beautiful bright moon that his people needed. However, the greed of his village folk was not fulfilled to his liking, so with the power of gods and Mikey Way, Brent shot the last sky into the night as he chanted, "And to the after thought, dearest Dallon, I need you to reign riches on my people- as for their desire is deeper than peace and stability- it's... riches." And with that, Dallon soured through the sky, catching onto bass lines to save him before crashing into the night.

Brent was pleased as he returned, for not only his people were fulfilled, but Brent's revenge had finally been perfected. For he wasn't out to hurt Ryan... exactly... he was out to obtain fate- to obtain fame. For that glowing orb had finally broken the greed off of Brendon, to be given to the powerful man of Earth.

As the vivid orb was lifted from Brendon's gaze, Brendon had seen his life of fame and fortune wane as memories of Ryan began to glow. The illuminating hues of garden filled sunray's and tea time beam's sparked Brendon's inner inner love due to life. For he had always been in love with the idea of Ryan, but could never feel good enough when his voice had faltered to those of the town's people. Leaving only Brendon to lay there, awaiting anticipated lyrics called to Line 1, while awaiting a facade that ended as obsession on Line 2. And as that beautiful voice of a broken home, a drunk father and a non-existent mother, stopped calling out to him... that's when he had lost all sanity to long for fame. In his eyes Ryan was gone, in his eyes Ryan stopped following his dreams because of what others thought, in his eyes... he was to blame. He began to cry tears of pure golds onto Brent and his people, fulfilling his third, and final, wish. His tears brought joy to the townsfolk, and a black parade to Brent, before Brendon faced Ryan with shy eclipses. And as he stared, into the beautiful brown craters procured from birth, he stopped concealing from the public and kissed the stoned boy he had loved.

One kiss to turn Brent's people against him, beheading him in the sand next to a dried skeleton by the name of Bob. One kiss to turn Brendon into a star, holding onto Ryan for all the years to come, for he was the reason he was so beautiful in melodies and Grammy performances. And one final kiss to explain how all was golden in the sky, how all was golden when the day met the night.

The moon casts over 7 billion hopeless faces, shying away from the soulmate it revolves

Of radiating smiles and budding scars awaiting one shooting star for the sun to realize

They are under the same solar system

The earth casts under two significant others, the two hopes above the galaxy

Of iridescent violets dripping cancers concern

Awaiting for a telegram broadcasted to both through a satellite

An I love you

So if a rocket flew past with a soulmate of a different hope,

Will someone dream of them as well?
