writober 2018
day one:
prompt: (activity) stargazing
word count: 184
.
will you light me up
like a fireworks show?
send me up into the stars
we stare up at each night
light me up
a candle in the night
city lights
flaring ever so bright
i'm on the ups, downing the cups
for you
stargaze into my flames
my constellation of burning lights
stargaze through those broken branches
as the leaves fall
onto your face and hands
you will feel how i felt
when you left
/
i hate you
i love you
why do i love you
sirius black
i hate you
sirius black
don't be gone
i whisper to the flickering flame
the smoke wisping up into the night sky
that we used to dance under
our hearts like burning lights
/
you know what?
i regret it
i regret you i regret me
i regret us
but i don't.
no, i don't
i regret not kissing you
a billion more times than i did
when i had you
i didn't love you as much as i
should've.
/
i let go
of you
of me
i look up
at the stars
one more time.
