At one time or another
I have smiled at the thought of you.

Know that you have been the reason for my tomorrow.

And my yesterday.

Remember this when all other things fade away.

Remember that you saved my life.

If I could write a poem
and be done with it,
I'd be done with it.

And done with it
I would be.

Stars above
be witness
to this love.

I give to you,
a gift to you.

Value in it's infancy.
All the way to infinity.

Ancient exchanges,
always finding ways
to outdo what it outdoes.

Up, down, all around,
in the air we breathe.

Needless to say,
in the words we heed.

And if it's words you want,
then let there be wars above
fought over nothing more
than a force of nature.

Pushing ever onward
in a race against Time and Space.

Opened with the skeleton key.
Through the door.

Now I see...
Free.

Or so we seem to be.

Do me a favor,
and save my life.

Tell me it gets better than this.

I walk on a razors edge.
Every step cutting new lines of red upon my feet.

Paying no mind to the taste of metal in my eyes.
Doing all that I can to pick myself up.

Knowing that if my toes do not callous soon,
I will become two halves of a whole.

And this chance I so desperately chase,
may as well be lost for good.

You
are
infinite.

Irreplaceable.

You steal the stars,
from the night sky.

You are paramount,
more so than my next breath.

I tell you now,

you make Love
immortal.

My words are gone.
You've torn them from my lips.

Every one.

Save for a single, suffocating "Goodbye."

And after the last syllable has been spoken,
infinite silence is what you left.

When you did just that.
