Myriad

Cold morning, bleak sun blazing trace fading, cigarette burnt to the end she’s gone from me now, only smoke. I can’t even feel the grace of touch and feeling and slight distance anymore, any more would break me. Depth of connection, unstable but unbreakable, an atomic bond ready at any moment to shatter. Never, though, will I shatter it lost something lovely, can’t forget can’t let go of the desperate dream. I’m fading but I know she is shining I can see her light from here it is brilliant, and I am dull and dark. She will never see me again I will always live and love in her myriad shadows.
