He fell madly in love with her
Too madly
Way too madly
She was his soul
His home
His
Whole
She was his missing piece
She was The One Piece
She set him free
And one night
As they were looking at the stars together
They saw a star streak across the sky
And she said to him
That she wished that she could experience just one night
In a world-wide
Black-out
He looked at her, puzzled
And asked her why
And she said
If she could look up to the night sky
Just one time
And see this galaxy
Uniquely
Without our light pollution
That she could die
Happy . . .
He really was mad . . .
And he did justify his actions in the name of love . . .
And his actions were— . . .
When she got sick
It felt like getting kicked
In the balls
Over and over again
To him
It felt like a brick
Lived in his stomach
As she started to fade away
He slipped into the melody of madness
It was a curse way worse
Than profound sadness
And on her last day
Do you know what he did?
Well, he put on the lid
He hacked the grid
He made a woman's dream live
He blacked out the world
And made an enemy out of
Everybody
Just for one somebody
To see the galaxy
From a window
In a hospital
While she lay on her bed
She turned her head
And saw the view
Tears rolled down her face
Because she instantly knew
Who would be the only one mad enough
To turn off the lights of the world for her
But seeing the stars like that . . .
It almost made it worth it
Planes fell from the sky
Stock markets crashed
Everything glitched for a few minutes
So her dream could live
So she could look up to the sky
One last time
And die
Happy
. . . And that she did.
