Stars

I am the wild.
I told you,
And I don't think you believed it
Until sunset caused us
To hike past a beach
And into the night.
You always told me you were
All or nothing
And I responded
With heartbeats.
You
Told me you were a shadow
Of your past self
And I promised you
In sighs
And broken screams
That I loved you anyway.
And if one
Can love the darkness,
One can surely
Love the light.
You told me
I was a star
As we laid
In the grass and the dirt
Underneath the trees
Upon the red earth
Under an endless sky.
But i felt less like a star
And more like a supernova
When I touched you.
And I still feel you even though
Your breathing is
Miles away
We are
Interconnected
Through
Unspeakable truths
And
Spiritual loopholes.
I know
Now is difficult.
Now is an awful space
Now is abyss that may not have a safe place for us to cross.
But believe me,
The Balrog that is your demon
Shall not pass
Further than you let it.
I told you once that I had to allow you to drag me down with you.
I have that choice.
But you forget,
Darling,
I am a creature of the dark
And I have seen its depth.
And so if you find yourself wondering
If the dark
Has taken you further than you thought possible.
Further than you can handle.
I will be your light.
I have always been the grey
But I will be the white for you.
I will fall from the night sky
And explode
Like a firework
Over your soul.
Believe me,
I have enough gunpowder
And light
And fire
To light your way.
We are like that beach
Skipping stones on the surface
Reflecting the light we see
From above.
And I am your North Star.
I am your guiding light.
I will show you the way home.
You just have to let me
Run wild, like the creek
That runs through your heart.
Unconditional.
Always flowing.
So pull the rock
That is holding the dam together.
Let me show you
What a star can do.
