If we must
              collide
                      let me first say
Oh how I have loved your Elysium eyes
Your blue-shift
Your crescent hips
The joules you wear with (solar) flare
               They say we are made of hydrogen
               Made beautiful with dust
               The both of us
And especially the touch of you
The solar wind, hot and heavy against sore skin
The strange light-year love
Sleeping long and light against the length of me
               Listen: All that lies between us is gas and dust

And
       If
                           We          Must
                Depart
Please fool me slow
               You, my nebula, all tangled up in mythology
               I could only ever be Perseus
Shed all your layers
Show me the pillars of you in a false dawn,
Slipping through chromatics
Weeping beneath your eroded ribs.
In zodiac light remind me
That this spectrum is only a fraction of you
               You, corona, too noble to be seen
               Except by those with ruined eyes
Just
Remember if you leave me
I’ll be sorry to see you fading red
I'd love some feedback!
Does any of the diction jar you? Can you relate? Does it seem like it's been worked too much? Let me know what you think, please :)

Hope you enjoy <3

I loved it! normally I am not a fan of formatting like this. in this case I think it's perfect, I especially loved the slow step down into 'and if we must depart please fool me slow" you guided my reading experience in a way that made sense, and it was a pleasurable read!
