star-crossed


"i will love you"

they whispered,

lit blue in moonlight.

"for all of time,

until the world itself

ends, and humanity

ceases."

the world ended early

but the message

didn't compute -

they're gone,

and the rubble

sears skin;

salty tears burn.

the broken oath

only seeks to sting,

in pitch darkness;

stars gone out.
