Hungry Stars

I laughed with you last night,
I held your soft hand last night,
I hugged you and held you tight.
Now you're gone.
You're sweet, quiet laugh
has disappeared with the stars
that heard it, and took it
and cherished it.
Your hands are cold,
not warm and soft like they were.
The stars could feel them,
and they wanted them too.
Your body and soul together
were too much for the stars
to resist.
So they took you,
cherished you,
and loved you.
Did I forget to say I love you?
Did you know I did?
Do the stars know that I still do?
