Dark Matter

It felt so massive then But seems slight today, In the hours of daylight – As decisions get made. What gravity held us together? Invisible substance accounted For so much attachment Even as the proof revealed itself, As intimacy wasted. Dark matter composed our universe – Mysterious, hypothetical No one could observe What pulled us in (As normal matter can). We have so little evidence Except for light distorted Over vast distances, Remote and froze over. So much time spent disputing What stuff unseen drew us in – Enlightened, now, and no longer Afraid of the dark.
