There is no beauty in the sun

There are only the millions of miles distancing us from it

And the thousands of degrees of heat that burn so bright we cannot stare at it for too long

There is no beauty in the stars

For they are just like the sun

Only many more millions of miles away

There is only is only their constant presence in your gaze

There is no beauty in your eyes

There is only the blank stare that you place upon me now

As you see me here,

Standing,

Crying,

Hurting,

But still loving you

There is now only a shadow of you 

And the searing gaze that burns my skin like the sun.
