ever unreachable, everpresent

it is there before you; you can see it, you can point to it, you can even approach it

but you will never arrive

it is Tomorrow

it is The Horizon

they didn't know other people feel warm

#they didn't know other people feel warm #cold to the touch #skin of ash and eyes of glass #their body a poorly wrapped skeleton #then #a touch #a hand in theirs #not made of bones #not of decayed stiff flesh #but of warmth #of heat #of soft comfort #of something they never knew #of life #they didnt know other people feel warm

go ahead, tell on me, you'll never be a god

#and i won't make you one

cry. she cries. she cries. she cries. her web of a heart beats close to her sun. the life. it gives her life. she feels such life. so alive. from her gods, her new god. her love. her heart. the centre, the apex. the webs coalesce, she forms, and, creates: love

#she loves #she cries #but

the gods were nothing until i met you

#and now they are even less #would that i were not the same

i haven't screamed in many years

#she is missing #i could hurt #if i were here either

the mother is silenced

#she cries #but quietly #we never listened

set my god on fire

#and I'll cry a little longer

she couldn't

#her wishes cry in her heart #the tears fall short on the cracked stone that hides her eyes #and the armour rusts again

but i wish to burn you sooner than time burns the memories of the faithful
