as are
the stars
that fill the sky
i am hopeless
bound to spiral
into the abyss
for our own sun
it flickers
in the distance
in the eventide
of worlds
as far as ours is now
it is but the light
of death
that lingers
through the night
half
as long
as i have ever loved you

There’s that sense of hopelessness, but, there’s, also, that small flickering light that remains, you described this cross-section of opposite ideals very well…

As far
as I AM from you
I AM building
the Lighted bridge…
To let to feel
My heart
there so no Death
nor its Dust…
Have a nice weekend, Max:)
