My Celebrity
I watch you in silence,
your smile a knife
sliding beneath my ribs.
Every light that crowns you
burns my shadows deeper—
but still I linger,
still I ache,
still I kneel before the glow
of your untouchable world.
Your laughter is a chain,
your absence a wound
I reopen each night.
I memorize your face
like scripture,
trace it across the walls of my mind
until even my dreams bleed red.
You are the sun,
I am the eclipse—
forever hungry,
forever hidden,
forever circling.
Call it madness,
call it devotion,
but you are mine,
though you never know my name.
