Description
Was I supposed to move the stars to keep you near me?
I've been tearing galaxies apart just to stop from self-destructing.
Turning blind eyes when the stars share your face
We drifted away, lost ourselves to deep space
And it hurts too much to keep on searching--
Don't have the strength to be that brave--
But if I see you on a distant moon
I'll untether myself to get to you
So I can take you in my arms and tell you straight--

Without you I'm a long-lost animal cosmonaut
Launched into the starry night, no hope of coming home
Buried in a sea of inky dreams, of universal memory.
To be direct: I'm lost and hopeless,
Set adrift, forever homeless.
You were my Northern Star,
My co-pilot, my own damn heart
But it's been years we've been apart
And I'm afraid to get too close
Afraid to look too long
Not for the fear that I was wrong

No, the dread that lingers in my bones
Colder than the void in which I float
Is the pulsing, swirling, vein iced over, stomach churning
Anxious gnawing, light bending fear
That you never held me dear
The abyssal depths, the endless chill:
You might wish our distance greater still
