even in death we’re inexplicitly linked

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.
