We Can See The Stars
The stars were fading. The small glints that has buried themselves seep in my mind began to slip away after the second hit. Between the galaxies I gazed down at the red, raw track marks appearing on my decaying body, my rough lips soaking up their blood. We had come to this darkness to create life, space, and light but instead I see your mind turn to dust. First I saw your sweats, then the shaking, I must have laughed at you because you struck me on the face. I hit the cold, damp floor, a purple rouge glistening below my eye. I lay there a moment; I remember my breath short, the stars joining in a swirl, before you gathered me up from the concrete. I didn’t have the strength to stand, my legs wanted to stay down on the floor and yet my mind climbed back to the rusting stars in the sky.
