Starstuff from Pendulum by Chelsie Malynn

We could spend a lifetime of moments together
but there's still more to me
there are galaxies
underneath the skin and I
couldn't give it all to you if I tried

The lovers that you meet in bars
are made of the same stuff as the stars.
You might see them
you may even touch them
but they're just as yours as the sea

And some may try
to take a piece of you to fill a void they feel inside
But you cannot claim
a part of me. There isn't such a thing.

The ones who cause you pain
are made of the same stuff as the rain.
your soul might feel heavy while it's
wet with their memory
but you are bound to them
like the dew is bound to the grass in the morning

So many of us are looking
for something to posess
something infinite
in another human being
but there simply isn't such a thing

The lovers that stick around
are made of the same substance
as the worms underground.
You might memorize
how the creases form around their eyes
when they smile
but they belong to you
just as well as the mountains do.
