How should I put it into words-
Will a simple I miss you suffice for
my longing for your intangible presence?

It's midday but my sky is so dull
I'm reminded of the lustrous strands of
Your midnight locks

It's midday and it is so warm
Like your palms that burn
Like a furnace

How should I put it into words-
Will a simple I yearn for you
Suffice for the black hole that you created in my universe
That extracts all my happiness and replaces it with you

In this astronomy of my heart
No longer exists burning heat balls of pride
You exist somewhere in my universe
Sucking out the warmth replacing them with your absence

How did it come to this?
You were just a small star in my galaxy
When did you grow so big to get shunned by your own gravity?

Consume my light, I beg of you
Consume my warmth
Consume my being
And consume all my stars
But don't leave me devoid of your presence
