Falling Like Stars

Love streaks bright, like fallen stars, brilliant in stunning glory before they hit the ground
The Wish always burns out before the desire for it does, with world shattering destruction
Everything about couple-dom is doom, yet all fools rush in to sleepless nights and heart marathons
I don’t believe that I am above nor beneath it at all- I seem to float just outside the peripheral of SSDD
I’m sick of always being wrong, and I’m tired of constantly being on the defense, and I’m just sick and tired
Especially since being in love with you is the loneliest I have ever been
You’re a personal Demonator, sucking the joy out of my life
Why doesn’t pride kick one of us in the a*s? Why are you still here?
Because where else would you go- when you know that I have a weakness for broken things.
I wish I was Thor, Hercules, my mother with the power to take what I want, throw away what I don’t need
But somehow you’ve grown in my life like a weed with roots hooked deep in my soul
Choking the tiny webby threads of hope that are strewn about in my heart saving words
I’d rather sit in the dark waiting for the sun then go looking for a light that’s just going to burn out
Because Fear is healthier than a broken heart, hiding is better than failing
How is that you don’t see the love that doesn’t shine out of my eyes?
And inhibitions aren’t a fortified wall, insecurities aren’t a disease you can catch
Even the words of falling in love make me worry, because falling means hitting something hard
How hard could it be to trip over you and land somewhere better?

Nothing is as easy as the instructions we ignore makes it seem
What’s so wrong with me that I can’t love you more?
What’s so wrong with you that you don’t care what I pretend?
You ignore the thorns in hopes of seeing the dead bloom again
But some things that are broken just can’t be fixed
Or some things forgiven are best just forgotten
