Harmony of Stars

Space… I know, darling, it’s something we tried
But, honestly, I struggle to get you out of my mind
You are the beat to the melody
That sings in the depths of my soul.

Just because we have our spheres
Doesn’t mean there isn’t a bridge between
Our love can bridge a safe connection
So that we’re not in a storm of jealousy.
It’s the desire to possess the other
The all or nothing “riddle”
That has kept us in this up-down cycle.
Can we please try the middle?

Compromise is the balm to our wounds
So can we try it — no more cycling,
No more “last stands” —
No more all or nothing, or
“This is how it has to be”
Let us meet at the thresholds
And be what we can be.
Because honey I swear I’ll be damned
If I let you go without trying my hand.

You are breath to my lungs
You are blood in my veins
You are the oil over my head
You are the thoughts in my brain

The love I hold for you is no joke
But it is not ash, smolder, or smoke —
It is a fire that roars deep
Within this chest of mine
And however we can make it work
I know we can if we do it right

I cast aside this ego
This stubbornness to be singular —
This anger, these walls, the poker face down —
Deal me in, darling, don’t care if I look like a clown.
I’m betting on us however we can have it
And I know with patience, time, and healing
We’ll stop dealing each other damage

We burn so brightly
Our magnetism unparalleled
But this doesn’t have to be punishment
Or damnation to hell
I crave to know you, to hold your heart —
Not to own it or possess you.
Isn’t that a start?

Any life that has your presence in it
Is better than one without you
In whatever way, shape or form it comes
Because when the love is true
It’s worth fighting for.

Space we already have —
For love, don’t you see?
We are stars that burn forever
Next to one another in harmony
