empty words.
until I found you
to teach me
what it meant

As if I’ve
forgiven life,
and
forgotten the child
                                           in me
who had been crying
and never stopped.

To get
my mind
to understand
my soul.

The sky fades into the earth,

Between which
city lights and stars
flow seamlessly

Lights
impossibly small
hold vastness that I will never know
worlds I will never touch
souls I will never feel.

Seeing all this infinity,
I think of you.

Abstruse darkness
with millions of lights,

But only one is yours
and only one
can bring dawn
to my night
