Out of Light

You don't think it's like me,
but I don't think you know me

well enough to make that call

or maybe even not at all

anymore.

I'm down on the floor.

Let me take a hit.

You think I won't like it,

but I think you just don't want me to.

I wish I knew which lines were true.

Now, poetry is distance

with a mean side of persistence,

but I still place you far above.

What a careless love.

The sound of your voice,

you've kept hidden by choice,

is a promise never kept,

just a dreams as I've slept.

And I don't believe you're trying

and it's fucking terrifying.

So, I'm floating out of sight,

out of mind, out of light.

Just kinda thinking about stars exploding. They get really bright in our skies and then fade and, eventually, their light fades and goes out entirely. And their light actually went out long before we got that message here on Earth.
