attentiveness

.

I’m walking on scars . on your faded moonlights

it’s tugging, it’s pulling

yet, I don’t stop . just small curious steps

cautious, but moving forward

drawn to the things that color your atoms

I chose not what to look for

if I see dark matter

that once pulled you in ( deep shadows of pain and doubt lingered )

I don’t stop, my feet are not fractured by the glass on the cold ground

a sign of something

that was once so fragile and loved

that burned the suns in your eyes . that ripped your insides

when beating flesh turns into unanimated shards

( mirrored cracked just from one tap )

you were there

inhaling the dust

recklessly it might seem, I don’t stop

I rest under a tree in your lost woods

only human

need time to recalculate my state

get up - spirit calls , venture through

so, I walk

and in the night I stumble until the light grabs me

grabs me whole

after faded moonlights . came a sun hidden within the universe

that universe was you

catching once again on fire of hope

reflecting in the comets

made of breath constructed from my lungs

last night I was caught into your gravity

falling into those skies

they pulled at me

I couldn’t stop

didn’t want to, if I can be so honest

my light ventured into the darkness before me

never realizing

that I would stop the night

remembering sun rays that were once lost

had the earth shifted , so much that I stumbled into this path?

not a lot, love, just an inch, that’s enough

last night I was caught into your gravity

falling into your skies

and now I stay

walking on scars . on your faded moonlights

both feeling your pain . and melting within your joy

( that simple )

.
