he awoke in the dark

in poetry •  7 years ago 

in millions of leagues of weightlessness
i’ve been eye’s closed inside myself,
I see only black,
float on vessel as we lose contact,
stars only burn like my wrath from this close
cuz there is no beauty like you
hoarse I haven’t heard my voice in months
except in realizations in which I’ll never see home again
muscles groan
and i swear im not alone
but I miss that cloud painted sky
never dry
vertical spill on the horizon
the canvas has no end but from this distance the whole picture isn’t clear
thats just love
it’s eye level but distant
it’ll never come down here
it’ll never come down here for you
as it passes you’ll bid it your sweet goodbye
it’ll miss you too

millions of leagues of weightlessness
with no precognition of turning back
and when your love matches the distance
i’ll come back down
i’ll be back around

when the end of the line extends
and becomes infinite
you become infinite

he awoke in the dark
he awoke in the “oh no”
