The Nihilist Who Loved, Dearly

From a white light that shot 

Through a blackened window pane

I traced its line right back to you.

In the vastness of the void

My wish implored,

Seeing the lunar face that I was used to.

Like broken crystals, I too, was shattered

By those that I had once adored.

I shelved my dreams, my wants, my things, 

To gaze upon you, amour.

Watching speckled flames

The stars dimming rained

Where fermion expanding resided,

From the moment we met

Catching a breath,

Your heart and words 

Breathing me to life.

And all of the things 

Once forgotten and once dreamed

Holding hands when closing eyes..

I would place my head on your breast 

Dying with you beside me.

Should tonight we would make our resting wake 

Holding on 'til caskets close,

Even in death I would leave my breath

For the chance to sleep with your ghost.
