A Mistaken Universe

The universe turns me into someone else; a shining collection of lost emotion
In a sea of purity and poison; a light flickers among the trillions
What is it that catches the eyes like this?
You’re never going to be as alluring as you are from my vantage
 
The closer you become; the more your colors fade away
Your spark dims with every new moment
The blurry beauty of an untouched vastness becomes clarity in darkness
Everything I saw in you was a mirage of false hopes; a canvas of foolish ideas
 
So why can I not look away?
Your constellation of charm creates a storm inside my mind
The hull of my heart melts away; this vessel was never built to last
Your glimmer shines through; shatters the shield with ease
 
I cannot focus but on the duality of your existence
Every moment I draw near is like eternity; awaiting the next step
You’re not what you seem to be; I understand that now
But I have to keep going; this journey is a desire that will not diminish
 
The colors are gone completely now; just pillars of blinding luster all around
My life drains away; replaced with the sweet embrace of the stars
A countless number of others without meaning
It’s your light that guides me; your radiance that calls to me
 
Piece by piece I become deconstructed; moment by moment
You may never truly need me; but I’ll be near
The gravity of your spirit was too much for me to ignore
The universe revolves around you; and so now do I
