Literary: The Constellation

“I’ll give you a constellation,”
You promised me one night.
I know it is surreal
But I waited for the impossible.
I kept waiting… and waiting…
Then you left me.
The pain was too extreme
It wounded me over and over.
Months have passed—
My wounds turned into scars.
Years have passed—
The scars still haven’t faded.
I remembered all your promises
As I traced all the scars
And there it was,
The constellation.
