Please don't go
            but you're the one walking
away from a love collapsing
            in on itself
as a star
            the heaviness grows
as the gravity of doubt pulls
                air from our lungs
an exhausted gasping, hoping
        some change will bring
a new light to the space
    surrounding us
                huddled together
in a darkness emanating from two
    broken hearts held together 
by will and denial and love

Are we no more than 
    those flickering lights 
reckless toward the horizon
        until extinguished?
Knowing that the source is
            still there but unseen
            and forgotten in time
only allowed a place amongst
            memories collecting dust
    and piled upon by the 
too long days, too distracted
            too fast
