Athena Part Ii
You fill cavities in me I never knew were there
Like you dug inside and wildly bloomed
I felt your inviting light invade the sleep
‘Til I was jarred, shorn up, and doomed
I still think somehow I will I saturate you, too
When he doesn’t love you the way that I do
When I sleepwalk and find myself in you
I watch you late night when you dance to infinity
With a fire I wish you’d feel for me
Brimming and beautiful and ineffably free
As though you and I were meant to be
I sleep for days to shake you off
I see you out and nostalgically stop
I watch you blush as I plainly stare
You laugh and go on unaware
but
how
you
bleed
through the mind-numbingly empty
And blunt humdrum liars and sickening travesty
I pick you out of the crowd with such fluttering ease
You stick out like the moon through the autumn trees
Sometimes you smile as you watch me pass by
But I am letting you go, this time, this night
I am nothing against your backdrop of sky,
A shadow within your celestial light.
