I’m trying to forget you, trying
To make you relinquish your unknowing
Monopoly on my mind, trying to live
Without that voice in my head
Which reminds me that I’m
A tiny moon in your universe
While you’re a supernova who
Lights up the world for me and
countless others.
I can’t help the brightest star in the sky
Without burning myself up as well, so
The cycle continues. In the winter,
needles fall
As I pine for you until you arrive, fresh
From saving the world to rescue me as well.
I sit warm in your glow for a while before
You spin away, your light fading
To leave me cold. I keep rotating on my axis.
