Like a jaguar on the prowl, He thirsted for my blood because legend said it tasted of wine. Lust occupied space in his eyes, Swallowing my virginity the way all black holes operate, Painting my sheets in shame and sweat. He used to say he was down to Earth And I was breaking ground on Mars. I wrote his name in the galaxies As if he were my destiny. He wanted out of the Milky Way To be a star in someone else’s sky. I felt the tether break And I defied gravity by falling in love But couldn’t stop from spiraling And lost myself somewhere between universes. So I broke my silence with God And I asked him for directions to the nearest payphone; There’s someone in Heaven I need to call.
