In this
ever-expanding
universe
I feel...
Lost.
Sick.
Adrift from everything.
I feel my skin itching
somewhere back
in the bed that I lay in,
but it isn't where I want to stay.
An escape from yesterday,
when in reality,
your arms offer
the only true embrace.
The only thing
that could make sense
in this colluding universe
of colliding thoughts,
the essence of you,
caught in my clothes.
The scent of you
drifting close to my nose.
I lend myself some hope.
Only to have it yanked away
like a strand of rope.
I feel I'm drifting further away
with every breath.
Only ever getting
closer to death.
Messages lost in the
vast wilderness
of this universal forest.
A void that is always
edging away from us.
My thoughts and words
left in the onrushing dust,
always too far away to hear,
too distant to view.
So, they never seem
to reach close to you.
This ever-expanding universe,
always moving away,
making the distance between us
seem so treacherous to navigate.
The canyons of time,
The valleys of space,
The hills of forever loom
distant and grey,
And all I want
is to be able to say the words
I long to say
and hold you close
until the very last heartbeat
of the universe
has been and gone away.
Thanks for reading
