HOSHIKUZU

/warm hand in mine/

come with me to the stars

/soft fingertips/

let me cup their silver for you

/gentle squeeze/

let me give you a cloak made of dusk

/i squeeze back/

and clothes made of midnight

/i see your smile/

let me see your eyes made of moonlight

/and return it with one of my own/

and kiss away the blood streaking you red

/breezes are cool around us/

let me hold the bleeding sky in my heart

/you lean forward/

let me take your pain away

/and i feel my heart begin to race/

stars fall from the sky

/your eyes/

and i made them fall

/so clear/

so you could see a thing of beauty die

/depths overflowing with simple emotion/

so you could understand

/i can't feel fear when you're here/

please don't cry

/when your warmth sits nestled close to me/

i don't want you to have to feel pain

/somehow so bright/

let me soothe away your tears

/a shooting star brushes the sunset/

take your hand and press my lips to its coolness

/i close my eyes/

everything falls to the ground

/i feel your lips on mine/

flaming metal rains from the sky

/two lovers kiss under fire/

a fierce wind slashes us silent

/and somewhere there's a battle/

we stand alone, together.
