Leo

Your Constellation is falling off my wall.

It's a literal physical metaphor

How crazy is it that

As you slowly peel yourself off of me

the striped washi tape recoils from the glow in the dark star?

And it's only Leo.

Just your namesake

On my wall

Maybe you weren't meant to fit up there in my star map

I hadn't planned it to begin with

Just my favorites

But you asked,

That was before

Funny how it's only Leo

Orion, Gemini, Ursa Major, Crux,

All okay

It's only Leo

That's peeling away.

Which reminds me

....I need to look up "Aries Constellation" on google.

as your astrology loving friend, I'm totally in love with this and you certainly have to tell me the story behind it sometime. And I'm really admiring how you structure your poems... like despite not having a f**k ton of punctuation, my brain knows exactly how to read it... I think I'm going to start taking notes.

I like this witty write

*Snaps* Empowering and inspiring. I hope you are a aries and then the end would be soo much more powerful. Putting yourself first and not letting anyone take your stars. Awesome as always Julia

That is actually a really cool interpretation and I wish I thought of that idea first, but im a gemini. The aries refers to my best friend.

love the ending...ah yes, metaphorically speaking you have blasted him into another galaxy...as you peel him from yours.

as an Aries with Leo as an ascendant and the Luna in Sagittarius, I have no choice but to like this poem..
