Constellation
Out of nowhere, to I don’t know where, but she goes there quite often
If I knew how long she’d be gone it’d probably soften the blow
But I just sit and watch as my soul fades
She just phases out into spaces
Far from the reach of my apologetic, sentimental phrases
Helplessly I claw at the sky,
trying to rip a whole in this curtain hung to hide heaven
If I was a betting man I’d bet that’s where she goes,
here glow cloaked in sunlight
She tip toes in the clouds, looking down, wishing she could show me
But I fear I’ll never see, I’ll never see the seas of lights she seizes
Or the breezes that dance from her lips to sway the trees
I notice these subtle signs but my logical mind doesn’t believe
Faith has faded with here touch
it’s too much for me to believe I’ll turn to anything but dust
But I must, I have to see her again
I have to harness my soul, renounce control of my mind it’s not mine
I keep telling myself I’m am an entity, unfathomable energy rapped in flesh
But until my heart reunites with the whole of its parts
I am nothing more than trying
Trying to ensure we’ll be together again,
that we we’ll live happily ever after after dying
Until I find a way to be together again, try is all I’ll do
I see you shining, I’m pining for your touch
I will dance in the glow of your star dust until I shine with you
An organic being in this mechanical thing racing toward celestial light
To ignite, to burn and turn this flesh to ash and the ashes to dust
When these ashes combust they’ll form a star in your likeness
Side by side, two star, the two brightest
