I’m driving
there’s a void in my stomach and my heart
the windows are down
and there’s music blasting
music that you sent me once upon a time
I know that as soon as I give up on you
you’ll text me
and I’ll pull over to the side of the road
just to text you back
So I press my foot to the gas
floor it
because maybe if I go fast enough
I’ll leave you behind
But you follow
like how the moon appears in the night
you can’t seem to get rid of it
And you don’t actually want it to leave
because even though it’s dark
the moon is this beautiful
incomprehensible lamp
that shows you the way down a path
And even though it goes through phases
filling up
then hollowing out just as quickly
it’s still there
It’s still the moon.
I wish you were like the sun
Everpresent
Shining
Burning me, but you stay the same
There may be clouds that cover your face
yet under it all
you’re the same
If you were the sun,
then I would be Superman
You are the source of my power
the reason why I am who I am
If you go out
so do I
And
even in death we’re inexplicitly linked.
