Aurora Borealis

In the time that I have loved you
I have hidden behind masks and wings
in stars and fiction and the name of God
I’ve hidden in my own insecurities 
mixed chromosomes
and false names

I have run from you across galaxies
and you have chased me across all of them

across every ocean and reincarnation
across every constellation and stifled sigh
just to find me
wrapped up in the fabric of time

Forgive my doubt and fears
we both know I run selfishly
only in hopes you’ll find me

again and again

until the world dies out
