Do you love me now

Praised him for his yellow roundness,
the way he brightened their universe.
A huge spectacle made of his presence,
surprising how thin the line between adoration and hate is
And sometimes he wished he wouldn’t rise
That he would dwindle and in the darkness-
his ashes would be lost in the abyss .

Look how the sun,
how it dances for you
And when you stare too long,
it’s the only thing you see for a while.

Look how the sun,
how it strokes you
From your crown to your soul,
it’s the only thing you feel for a while.

Made him a lover
When he loved too much,
they called him brutal.
Wanted him forever,
wished him away when they tired.
And sometimes he wished he wouldn’t rise,
that he would dwindle and in the darkness-
his ashes would be lost in the abyss .
