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.
