why

do we wish

to explore

these stars

when we

could just

enjoy them?

why

do we look

for answers

to questions

that shouldn’t

be answered?

why

do these stars

remind me

of her eyes

on that winter night?

why

does the abyss

remind me

of days when

i was stuck

with a man

i never loved?

why

does the knowledge

that i

don’t know

what’s out there

remind me of

my own

vast and empty

heart?

why

is this peace

feel numbing

like calm

before the storm?

why

does the distance

between stars

feel like the rift

between us?

why

do you

kiss him

when i’m around?

why

am i left

alone

drifting between

millions of stars

where life exists

but i am still

caught up

about

you?
