Love Poem: Again

Again

I’ve been here before
Before the cruel reality reappeared 
Shattering your warm embrace

War rages between us
Bloody secrets strewn through the night sky
“It’ll be okay”
But a white lie is still a lie

You shine
Bright as ever the center
Of my universe
My northern star,
I always find my way back to you.

Stars burn.
I ignite
Burn away into the starry night

A mortal and a star
Meant to be? We’re not
Fated like the stories
Yet I’m chained
The fate of a phoenix explained
An ever living cycle

Still I desire
Immersed in your fire
Like a moth to a flame
Siding back into place
Giving in to your deadly embrace
