Star Killer


I see salted oceans and ebony sails
  within the folds of your clear panes,
  from which the candle of your being flows.

  Your gold is brighter than earth's orb upon
   winter crystal
    and warmer than Christmas lights set within the
  frosted blanket of eventide.

  Oh, you scorn the stars with those eyes,
   they envy you,
  throwing themselves into the moon
   to try and capture a single hint of dwelling silver,
  and knowing they could never match,
  falling swiftly to the drowning land below.

  You are death to them...

And knowing that I could never match you
  with watercolor shades of blue and green,
  you pulled yourself away.....

  You created this world for me,
   this chaotic shadowed realm.
  How lost I am without this light,
   no firefly to guide my way,
  and you killing stars and igniting blond angels
   as I watch from my grave without even the reflection
   of a cold marble stone....
