Separated by the Stars

Picture
I know you’re there somewhere
On the other side of eternity; the other side of emotion
My eyes remember your own; brilliant beacons of life
Our orbits so similar even at such a daunting distance
You brought comfort under the ever growing end
 
It was there before we became aware
But not until you were gone did it become a blockade
Every moment I spent learning; it was thriving
 A wasted reach for a touch that would never come
 
There was never a chance; but I could imagine as I gazed upon your muted beauty
The bitter cold of space and boundary only highlights what I adore
Your pale brilliance on a backdrop of darkness; the hope you hold dear
Zeal in the face of continual gloom
 
This is why I dream of foolish futures; of things we’ll never have
Of what could never be
I stood no chance as the giant grew larger; separating us further
You’re somewhere on the other side; I’m losing what I never had
And it only makes me colder
 
A harbinger that was there before you and I; and still I ignored it
But I can no longer; I had your compassion to warm me then
Now I have only a memory; you have much more
And it is all you truly need; even as it engulfs you
Swallowed by the crimson titan between us
 
I’m left wondering if you ever even noticed
You were a bright image of salvation in a void
An emptiness that may have only been inside me
Shining only in my eyes
Separated by the stars
