2018: A Space Odyssey

Heart’s collapsing in on itself;

Nebulous, despair it’s come to this.

Too many chances given,

Folded together infinite

Until there’s nothing left in my chest

But a black hole

You used to occupy.

We used to occupy

Those gilded streets;

Tore down walls

Between us

As we marched

Hand in hand

To the future

We’d create together,

With all the power

Of collapsing stars.

Hope you find

Answers

Your galaxy lacks;

I’ll find a new one,

My bags are packed.
