when the stars speak

Breathe
Speak
You can't take it back now

Whisper your secrets
through this midnight air
I'll look for your words
in the stars
when the storms
stop raging

I scryed the future
and saw you standing there
like a fever dream
or a drug overdose
you're the zen between
the panic attacks
you're the exhale of smoke
from frenzied lungs
you're the lucid drop
before I fall sleep

You're not real
and nothing has ever
been more real than you

I break the world for you
I break apart the words for you
I bleed and burn
and become temporary art
every time you kiss
my ink stained fingertips

I am whole
and I am nothing
I'm a person
and I'm a vessel

I breathe
and choke on the feeling
I speak
but don't know what to say

Euphoria has never felt
so empty
emptiness has never felt
so whole
and I have never been so divided

If you listen you'll hear
the void isn't filled with silence
