~Stars~

 

"When he tried change for the first time, he said come quick, I've tasted the stars. Ya, I think were gonna need more of this. Coming up, we've bottled all the stars for you."~The Fault in Our Stars

thats the thing about pain
it demands to be felt
I want to finally feel
the moment
finally open my eyes
see the rise and fall
of all the days

so taste the stars
with me
feel the velvety brightness
honey-thick
on your tongue
close your eyes
and try not not to care
for as long as you can

if you want the rainbow
you have to deal with the rain
the good and bad times
the spread out sun on a pavement
and a cup of tea
is all I need this time
the stars
are our ugly and beautiful
memories
