The Expanse

When missing someone

Becomes a word that doesn't exist 

When loving someone 

Becomes a feeling you can't explain

You'll find me 

On that island 

That has no name

The Missing

Say a prayer

For the lost

The dead

The unreachable

Save a thought 

For those unaware

Those unfeeling 

Those alone

They don't even know

They're missed 

Together

Some bonds are 

Undeniable

A tether that ties 

Two souls together

Their recognition of

The need to be together

Sometimes as lovers

Sometimes as enemies

Sometimes as friends

But to imagine a life

Without them seems

Unbearable

Darkness 

The solstice frightens

And the longest night

Taunts the light to show

Her radiant face 

There are no seasons 

In the soul

And it's night only grows 

Darker and colder 

As stars die one by one

Challenge

I dare you

Dare you to make me feel something

Anything

Pain-numbed nerves 

And a ravaged soul

Leave little for 

Anyone else 

Bring the blood to the surface

Make the lash bite

Make me feel something

Anything

If you think you can

There is a girl 

In a darkened room

Surrounded by 

Velvet knots 

Hair tied up 

To expose her 

Collared neck 

She hears my command

From across the sea

And begs to please

Not realizing 

I am the one 

Shackled and tethered 

Storm

There is something 

Calming

Peaceful

In the wake 

Of your destruction

Everyone knows the 

Calm before the storm

But there is one like me

No one before me

And no one after me

That will appreciate the what was

And the what could have beens

With each fractured breath 

She takes 

worthlessGirl

No comfort given

No words said

Just a slammed door

Echoing over and over 

In my ears 

I'm left to drown 

In a room full of tears

Choking on sobs and saltwater

There will be no hero

Because no one knows 

You put me here 

timeLoop

Every morning

The pain starts anew

Ripping off the 

Bandage of sleep

To expose the sepsis

That is desire 

The Destined

I know you

Not because we've met

But because millions of years ago

Your stardust bumped into mine

And we've held hands ever since

That familiar comfort

That reassuring voice 

It changes 

But it's always the same 

I will always find you 

Always

Paused

Dark

And damp

This confessional booth

I'm here to

Confess my sins

But my confessor is gone

Nothing left for me to do

But wait

In my makeshift coffin

Until my rebirth
