wearedeadpaper:

stars are delicate,
we both know that,
like hearts
or glass jars
filled to the brim
with dreams
and wishes
and lost prayers,
caught
but still alive,
still breathing,
each a story,
a secret,
and if we listen,
if we stand here quietly
and don’t breathe,
we might hear them
whispering.

and if we listen,

if we stand here quietly

and don’t breathe,
