I love you.

I love you.
I do,
Oh, stars.
dimly lit.
beyond par.
I love you.

But,
can I be?
A planet beside.
You won't notice
until you look tight.

I will breath life,
diverse & kind.
I will exhaust all
that makes 'me' mine.

So that when I am,
just a rotten scar,
left waiting,
to die, star.

I ask you to
look at me,
and say out loud
"I love you."
