"Endless Day" written on 10/1997

she said she needed space
 
in that instant
the universe like a sucking wound
dispersed my soul
in random pieces
glittering diamonds
of hope and joy spreading
away from me
 
i ask why
i want to push harder
my mind says no
i shout NO
and this only pushes
her further away
 
endless days fold
into endless nights
her scent still lingers on my pillow
a scent that is only her
as the dark blue dawn
turns to grey
and i awaken to
another endless day
