Can you still see the light?
I scream desperately into the void.
The distance between us is ever growing,
And gravity’s pale hands are gently pulling me from where I need to be.
Over the vanishing edge, into the boundless reach of our galaxy.
Plunging head first into the waves of oblivion’s endless sea.
It is in the darkness that we built our broken home,
And it is in the darkness that our souls will forever roam.
Between you and me are the teeth of infinity.
I reach with skinless bones, fingers too cold for you to hold.
Our souls float in the drift, divided by the planet’s rotation.
Our severed roots are forever reaching out,
Into the generation that was raised in a world without a sun.
With no warmth to offer the wandering stars, we disconnect our own counterparts.
They become the pieces left to wade in the tide of our silence.
It is in the darkness that we collect forgotten bones,
And it is in the darkness that our souls will never be alone.
Between you and me are the teeth of infinity.
I reach with skinless bones, fingers too cold for you to hold.
We are the captives of a raging black hole.
Tossed back and forth, manipulated by its control.
I fear the thought that gravity will never release me.
I fear that we will fade into nothing more than a distant memory.
I can’t see your light, as you step into the void.
I can’t see your light.Emptiness fills the space where your presence should be,
And in your place thrives the absence of divinity.
Without the sun’s amber touch to lead me forward gently,
I’m afraid that your peace and your comfort, they will never return to me.
My dearly beloved, I know that I left you with more questions than answers,
But find peace in the letters sent to you and recognise my hand as the author.
For perseverance and the passing of time will bring the steady maturing of your youth,
And take heart knowing that the destination of your voyage is truth.
Between you and me are the teeth of infinity.
I reach with skinless bones, with fingers too cold for you to hold.
Step into the void and you will see the light.
Step into the void and you will be the light.
