my_ring_of_fire

[of_starlight]

remind me of the moon
as if i could forget
the music
the music
so loud, wrapping around the trees
the sky
we scream at the way this has to be

but i am still here.

lean in to listen to my every
word
can scarcely breathe
desire is so thick, tasteless
almost repulsive
is that it?
the moon again, the mist, the clouds
this music. forming our world
i can't help but smile
the night belongs to us, doesn't it.

yes, i say, this is exactly what i've
missed
it hasn't been so long
confusion, but your eyes give you away
spying somehow, the hollow core of me
does it scare you, darling
what you see?

holding back, we
pull away
something changes
where are my words when i need them
is it me
is it me
tell me, do i haunt you when i'm away?
maybe i don't tell you, maybe you wouldn't know
how there is no moon
there is no sky
there is no night
there is no music

without you.

look at the moon, you said
as if i would forget.
