the sun loves

the sun grows weary of seeing men squander its light one man wasting the glow that radiats from her skin waste of space waste of time he treats her like she’s merely a trail of his stardust rather than the blazing glory that she is

the sun grows annoyed at the words the man throws her way, for she is not as important as him, but the sun doesn’t speak as she doesn’t want her burning beauty to scathe his heart away

the sun needs to learn that this man is not her everything the sun needs to learn that her light deserves to be seen deserves to be loved not hidden and muffled in the darkness by a boy, not even a man, who cancels plans as soon as he learns it involves seeing other people

the sun needs to see herself in the beauty in the speciality that she is, she needs to hear all the advices the stars whisper they want her to shine, but this boy is sucking her brightness away and she can’t see it because she is too stuck in the way he called her beautiful 8 months ago, the way he held her face in his hands and stared into her eyes, telling her she was his everything, when moments ago he had been yelling though his voice never left a dull murmur becuase emotion is unbecoming to he who wants to be

the sun needs to see what everyone else does, needs to learn how to grow instead of shrink into the vacuum void that he is

he is ruining the sun but she’s too blinded by love, or rather the fear of the absence of love to notice
