The boys with stars on their faces

Someday time will stop

Abruptly at that,

And he’ll come for me

The boy with stars on his face 

He lives in my mind, and I find him alive in my dreams

My dreams where his makeup is off, his skin is tan, and stars are scattered every which way, dotted along his face 

Boys like that mustn’t be real and if I see one, he must be a hologram,

Because I am an atheist 

And boys like that are heaven sent

  • Glittering

    I locked eyes with him, the glowing man on the stage. 

    He glimmered, his red hair shining under the spotlight. 

    That was all it took for my heart to be stolen away. 

  • When it comes true

    when it comes true

    when my dream is found, 

    my goals reached, 

    will I be fulfilled? 

    will the future be everything I’d hoped, 

    or a letdown

    a saddening realization of truth
