Beyond the Realms of Nothingness

I recall a distant time,
Very late at night 
- With you,
Still by my side; 
And still so
Very much alive

We were looking up
At a clear Autumn sky,
While the starlight appeared
To breakdown and cry
- And soon, 
I felt as if
The moon may sink 
And then break apart 
As it fell away, through and through:
Into the nadir - Of oblivion's impartial heart...

...But it was you, who sunk away 
Long before daybreak:
Sank into a pit of despair 
- Sunken in, 
Sink-sink-sink,
Sinking in your drug abuse;
Lost to your own misuse;
And the Moon...the Moon will always remind me of you...
