***

you have always known it was never going to last.

he is a star, bright, shining, streaking through the sky
a god, powerful, mighty, imperfect
avert your eyes, don’t look too close
that boy will burn you up

you are inconsequential
a piece of space dust lucky enough to pass through his orbit
an unholy and unworthy spectator
to the grandeur of his splendor

you offer nothing because you have nothing to offer
you offer yourself because it’s all you have to give
take these hands, you pray, this simple sacrifice
and he holds you like you are something worth holding

you tally the minutes, the hours, the days
you know he will not stay forever
there are thousands of worshippers ready and waiting
to praise him on their knees

in the early mornings he whispers to you
so strange, the words that tumble from his mouth
he wraps you tightly in his arms
and he tells you “you are loved”

you watch him as he sleeps
he has always looked so beautiful in the moonlight
but you are not meant to witness his brilliance
you leave behind only your heart, clutched in his hands

you have always known it was never going to last.
