A little Orion shines inside me
Fragments of it flow through every vein
But my marrow radiates melancholy
Yet, my eyes are dry and I dance
Who could ever see that the stars might go out in me at any moment?
And why would it matter?
I am done with waiting. I don't expect you to save me, darling.
I can save myself and you can save yourself. I am not your Manic Pixie Dream Girl and you are not my Manic Pixie Dream Boy. But I can promise to be there when your cocoon cracks and your wings start to flutter. I can promise to take flight with you and watch your eyes glitter with pride. I can promise to be myself and stay with you. But your own salvation is up to you. My own salvation is up to me, darling. Let us ignite our stars.
