heart broken into a million pieces,
agony inside, the time in-between
now and then, set aside

for a moment, like an eternity, dreaming
of other scenes, can’t possibly be reality, pulling
me down into this demise…

watching your hand leave mine, fingers outstretched
into another time, breaking solidity,
besides

the filament continues to flicker, wavering
in the night sky, pulling me towards belief, I
sigh…

remembering your face, holding you in arms, wide,
trying to make another sky

and portal to an alternative world, where the two
remain together, not ever bidding each other
adieu…

instead, remain together they do,
by simply saying

I love you…
