Perhaps Ive been looking at this
with narrow eyes
Blinded by the distance
Too caught up in my impatience
To realize
the gift was in the days
The nights
The hours spent
In harmonious revelry
Nothing lost
That was ever unworthy of these things
And ever more under the wing
The gift of time
How different my heart would feel
With out
Your shadow to stir in its echoes
The distance that
Is not so far
That I cant still step out
And hear your
Jovial laughter on the air
Where did we leave this lie?
Or was it to rot before it was to die.
The magnitude of the emotion
Bigger than the loss
More prudent than its ache
The smile I cannot erase
Maybe the forest was
Hidden by these trees
the smoke
the brew
sweet cream and coffee memory of you
and your hand
when once we knew one another
and the worst of each other
in the best of times
never angry
never afraid
the distance is not the curse
the gift was the chance
we took
and lived
and  do
frozen in time
hazy memories of a life lived
in its fullest
too fast
too big
too beautiful
to die

Now I know I've lost my mind
I've gone back to what I left behind
Forgot the progress that I procured
Let myself slip into a state unsure

**I let the universe collapse again

You stand at the top of the stair
Being pulled in directions, both
Your voice speaks
But I Hear your eyes
The beating of your soul
Lost some where
Between wanting to rip
The flesh from my bones
And laying me down in
Surrender to human desire.
My skin crawls with sweat
That has not broken the surface tension
We flow
Like bodies of water
Mountains between us
I trembled at your touch
And you relieved
Every pain
I brought you
The smile
Again
You came to save us both
But only
Reminded us what was evermore; unforgiven
But we make chit chat
About what is expected
Our guilt and lust battle
In subconscious oblivion
Though dense enough for the
Angels to walk upon
You
Trying to run
And trying to stay
I don’t plead nor
Will I beg
Yet in the hearts abyss
You have left me to bleed
I didn’t ask about your dreams
The nightmares of me.
Us.
You walk in mine
You stalk my heart
when I start to feel free
Im sure
Its mutual.
You came at my call  
and stood here
In the darkest hall
You haven’t been here for a while
My heart rejoiced
To hear
You know
Its not the time
And won’t be
Till
The blood clots
And this numbness
Has taken over me
We.
And there you stand readied to leave
Hand twisting anxiously
In dark hair
Smile going on
For a century
How does the moon
Implore, her love
The glorious sun
To stay
In eclipse
When she knows
The entire world would suffer
I turn as you leave
We make light hearted joke
To hide the fight
Deep in our minds
As we break free
To wander alone through this
Galaxy.
