andromeda

my body aimlessly drifts through vibrant auroras 

my dizzy head is chained to the stars that surround me

blue skies and happy endings are a millennium away from me on a planet suffering from self-made disaster

the life left my eyes the moment I passed the moon and realized it was nothing more than a rock

every now and then

i think gravity will switch on and force me to keep falling into absolutely nothing for the rest of my life

i left Earth in an attempt to escape the sun

because i was terrified of getting burned again

i still see her in the distance every day

burning bright with destruction

i drift farther from her touch

and closer into the iciness of Pluto

feeling like nothing more than the never-ending aftermath of a supernova

meet me in the night sky

at the edge of Andromeda
