STAR FALLEN PROMISE

It was hard to watch you pirouette
with your goliath-sized demon
-romancing your inner death each fall-away day

the matador dancing a dangerous lie
the crushed flower beneath preoccupied feet
looked a little like me, in a curious way.

Against the red red sun your silhouette
burned hard your darkling image into my eye
so that not even in sleep would you fade away.

Await on the threshold of some greater cause,
I teetered, not knowing which way to freefall;
in a chasm the size of the Milky Way
~you stamped out your name…
~Oh~ I guess that was my soul, after all.
