Out of Sight

A Poem

By Elise Published 4 years ago 1 min read

you once promised me 

that you'd place galaxies 

in the dark space I dwell in 

but all I needed was you 

to keep the darkness at bay

you moved planets and stars

to make the emptiness seem beautiful

but the darkness ran too deep

so you tried to bring me back down to earth

I didn't budge out of fear

and you let go 

I floated back out

amongst the constellations

and hid away

clinging onto the memories 

of a shared promise and whisper of love

they echo loudly and fill the vast space I linger in

I dream that you stay close enough

watching and waiting for me to reach out to you

I dream that you hope for me 

to come back down to you

but when I awaken there's a distance and it aches 

you're far out of sight and I wonder 

have you cut the cords that our souls are entangled in

or are we still connected

do you still feel each breath of darkness I take 

as it floods through us both
