Layers [√]

[ the constellation of you ]

you stand on the periphery of my heart
so close yet a million light years away,
the bright blue star of my choosing

a permanent compass in the sky
drawn from the tips to end,
a beacon for my heartache

the hole in my chest becomes filled
with overlapping memories
i have yet to bury with your name

looking up from here,
you burn loud with melancholy
until the echo of your laughter
rings in the halls of my wistfulness

i will remember you in the heavens
in this vast universe of our lifetime,
in a moment or two in our brief history

you were my guiding North Star,
my Polaris light
how you were stellar!
