Cloak me in Stars...

Cloak me in the stars that fall from the black,

And shelter my body in midnight.

Bury my being in a cosmic trail,

Where passionate space escapes your lungs.

 

Let the constellations kiss me as I run from my life.

The only remains as I leave,

The glitter from my supernova,

As my comet perils into the Earth.

 

Drink in my stardust through the lips that kiss,

Like I am the only atmosphere.

And arrange my bones between,

The moon and the Milky Way.

 

Cloak me in the stars that fall from the black,

And let me die among the finest galaxies.

Because the only galaxy I’d ever wished to be in,

Is the one where I’m with you.
