Soon
I'll be gone
Those souvenirs you submerged
against our lashing tides
will resurface
and be washed out on shore
You'll hunt for me in places
of empty spaces
that once was our home
The sixth sense
you neglected
will prance on your mind
throwing down the gauntlet
against your withdrawal function
And your skin, undergo ecdysis
lurching for my touch
You'll lift up your eyes
to the black and blues
drawing constellations of hopes,
hoping for a shooting star
Chanting recitals of repentance,
seeking redemption
you'll sacrifice burnt offerings
of your priced possession
'Time'
Awaiting my return
I'll send you back my empathy,
reduced to ashes
You'll ponder,
Is this what become of us?
Time defying our union.
Years there on
you'll have me engraved
in your cavernous chest
And I'll be your only religion
You'll search fragments of me
in others
And meander down the lorn tracks
to fill the void
But before long
I'll be gone.
