for her, wherever she is now

you are the sunlight

and i--just a moon

when you're in front of me

i lose me in you

 

when you are smiling

it lights up the world

i exist to reflect you

my beautiful girl

 

but i am earthbound

i can't stop spinning 'round

i feel your warm irresistible charm

a release from my pain

take me away from here

save me from bondage

come to me, sunshine

i call out your name

i long to be in you

knowing the whole of you

engulfed in magnificence

to burst into flame

 

it seems like you're next to me

surrounded by stars

it's hard to believe, my love

you're so very far

 

yes, i am dark at times

but you make me full

you are my destiny

who wouldn't be pulled?

 

yet i am earthbound

i must keep looking down

i sense your warm and benevolent glow

and it tears me apart

so soft and innocent

mother of everyone

jewel of the universe

it is who you are

the center of gravity

sitting there quietly

oh, how i could melt in you

deep in your heart

 

i am nothing...

lonely, orbiting, vacant, eternally sorrowful...

every moment... i love you

SL, what happened was that she became a lesbian (i know; you can relate). the last actual news i heard of her was that she was on suicide watch in a hospital after attempting to take her life, though i do presume that she was released after a time.

 

we never had a serious relationship together. i occasionally pause to wonder if both of our lives might not have been brighter if we had. to my knowledge she has never seen the poem, nor would she likely be impressed.

 

thanks for the nice review, SL.

 

tomato at my good friend TRQ for bumping this best-forgotten glucosefest, composed well over a year ago, out of April's archives. :splat:
