Reticent Star
A lone star shines bright in the sky.
It reminds me of you, actually.
A bright light in the endless abyss.
A sole hope against the dark ceiling above.
My Reticent star, you are the only one for me.
You do not see yourself as I see you.
A hot mess, a tangle of toxicity and flame.
But that is not what you are to me.
As my eyes adjust to the night, as the clouds move away,
I see the other stars. Not as bright. Not as beautiful.
They mean nothing to me. There is no star to surpass you.
I deserve better, you say, but where? I see no equal.
I focus my eyes back on you, my bright, beautiful, shining star.
I gaze upon your glory. I blink, and you blink back.
You. Blink back at me. Something is amiss... I know.
