Eyesore

written by: Hanna Abi Akl

@HannaAbiAkl

Baby,
If you are a shooting star
I am the milky way
If you are
A meteorite
I am your orbit
If you are
A celestial object
I am the cosmos
If you are star dust
I am the black hole
Of enlightenment
If you are a vacuum
I am the strings
Shaping up the universe
If you are a beam of light
I am a prism
Absorbing
And diffusing
Your rays
To the naked eye.
