One day you'll forget completely While the earth slowly rotates under you I knew you had given up long ago Why were you still holding on A ghost left to drift through familiar places Like the faintest light filtering through that window Moving across the floor, rehearsed like your words I saw the burn marks from a previous chapter And smelled the smoke that lingered in my clothes Mundane items or places Now occupied by an emptiness I still look back to the world slowly dying that autumn Forever mirrored inside you too A beautiful and internal winter Take one capsule a day, and melatonin at night Keep a rhodonite stone for grief I remember gazing at the night sky through a borrowed telescope The only remainder of what wasn't discarded Keepsakes, now debris, sent away like that letter And now the space between each star seemed darker No matter how bright they burned Maybe God extinguished them with His breath But it was probably the light pollution I bathed in time from other worlds The chill in the air just before a snow The shiver in your core when you can't keep warm The temperature on my phone read 44 degrees And then I saw it, unadorned and modest The nearest star to us, over four light-years away The dim glow of a sun as it was, four years ago Photons from a past life I wondered if someone on a planet near that star had a much more powerful telescope If they could point it here, right now Would they see a past version of me Lifting my grey eyes up towards them Four years ago, before any of this ever happened One day you'll forget completely As the earth slowly rotates under us One day you'll forget completely No matter how bright One day you'll forget completely That there will always be this hollow One day you'll forget completely Like unlit space between stars One day you'll forget completely The moon still burns above me
