When Once We Shone

Born and raised in the human race,
Like suns we shone through life.
From distant worlds our hearts danced in the night sky;
A sign of love, in a galaxy of cold rejection.

Constellations of feelings I had for you,
Were gazed at by the eyes of lonely sky watchers;
They seen my dreams as cosmic dust, in wonder
Spread across the boundless sea of space.

As we grew, the tangled wires of our hearts sent hot sparks in motion;
Sparks that lit the fires from which you smothered,
And from which I burned.
The exodus of love bore a supernova trail of mass destruction,
And when we died, the whole world died with us.
