Helios

Helios kissed my skin 
and left rouge along my cheek
His lips that blisters my skin
left sun spots upon me
I didn't care if it burned
He was my dawn
turned everything to gold
I would have let it burn my skin just to feel the warmth his light brings

I knew we were running out of time when the shadows grew
That there would be no tomorrow with you
I still waited
Just in case you changed your mind
but I soon realised
I had seen my Sun rise for the last time

I thought I could get used to the cold
But his rays left a mark on me
They stayed
These moles didn't fade with the dusk
They're etched into my very being
Permeated into me
They won't leave
My Sun is gone, but they're still here
A part of him is still here
In these sun spots that lay upon me
I can't let him go

Maybe if I traced lines in between these sun spots
I'll find a hidden star map he left for me
a guide to make the stars align
to break the fabric of time
so I can finally reach the horizon
where he’ll be waiting
waiting for me
and he stays

Why does the night come between you and me
I don't want remanence of us to be lost in the dark
If you just give me a chance
I would let the universe come to an end so we could start over again
and I know I would find you in a sky full of stars
and maybe this time
we can make it work
when we meet again

Love,
Moi
