astronomy to keep the whispers of the night from sending shivers down supine spines curled around infirm hearts. to trespass for a few moments in the dark forests of each other's minds. to talk until we've used up every word we both knew. hush, now, do you hear the stars dancing? still your heart and silence your mind. trace my hand with lost stories the way empty hands grasp for something real, and let the stars devise our fate. if you find yourself trapped without a light, ill rip down every star to bestow them onto you, ill turn away these cards you've been dealt. we sat in silence and in peace underneath a starry sky. we both turned our heads as to not see each other cry. though apart we were never alone. the strength of our reverie together helped us face our futures unknown.
