The way you used to look at me
made me feel like i housed an entire galaxy
within my very bones.

Spanning out across the sky eternally
touching every part of the nothingness
Oh God, i held solar systems in the palms of my hands
& constellations stretched out across my skin
my eyes could trigger the birth or destruction
of countless heavenly bodies

But now

now i cannot warrant even the smallest, fleeting glance
& i no longer feel like a single star
in the galaxy i once was.

I suppose the funny thing about stars is that
once you get used to them
they lose their luster
& i too can feel myself ever rapidly fading back into the void.

A lost wonder, once marveled at
once luminescent & now barely present;
I am becoming the very nothingness i used to touch;

Irrelevant.
