you're the only star left in the sky
the others have fallen, their light
stolen by you, and i think it selfish

that i would be the only one
who could admire you
because i know better than that

you belong to others, not just one
and there's no life you look forward
to, all except to be a shining luminescence

devoted, not to one, i have to learn
it's not anything personal, although
the pang in my heart says otherwise

i keep it down, and i say now
that there's a hollow hole
that's waiting to be filled

i don't need to wait for another
light to appear in the sky, like you
i need to make it myself, or

move from this planet, find a
point that will help be stay grounded
but nothing else will spin me around and around

like you, that glowing dot in the black
like a tunnel leading out, to freedom, to euphoria
when at the end is desperation and yearning

i will not take the journey again, no
this will be the end of me,
sleep, and you won't have lights to idolize
