Our Galaxy

By Natalie Shaw

Don't go

I'll watch you

A moonslice of hope and a bucket of love

As I gaze into the eyes of its presence I see the stars we once shared and the galaxy we lost

New is a black hole burned onto my heart

never will it go into the essence of nothing in space

its hand on my cheek

a crystal sadness from all the stardust of us drops out

into my slivered down sunshine

i will see you again but i shall never meet you the black hole is open and ready for me the stars are now stardust my galaxy gone

burning flames of misery's creation as it leaves me

the dust that our galaxy once was turns and spins

changing into something magnificent a new star born burned onto me beautifully made with love and agony fear and sadness innocence

a moonslice of hope and a bucket of love
