Work Text:
They took you.
They took you.
I’m not a religious man-
but god what did I do?
Why is she gone?
Everything was so well.
I marveled at the stars of his eyes before I found your note.
It was like I finally found my own perfect haven that night.
It could have been the three of us,
we could have talked everything out.
We could have done it sooner-
before it hurt both of us.
I didn’t realize how much he truly meant to me until that night,
but you also meant the world to me.
And that night when I returned,
you weren’t there.
A single page in your place,
spelled out in simple words as if I’m that simple of a man.
Now everythings collapsing.
There are so many now.
I think I’ve lost my mind.
He keeps trying to help.
But the stars in his eyes have dimmed from my own doing.
I know how much it hurts him.
How much it hurts me-
so so so many of me.
And when we go out to see the stars, and get away from all of everything,
they come back to our eyes,
at least for a little while.
