Love, have you finally returned from outer space?

Was it cold up there?
Did you feel alone?
Was the silence too much to bear?
Have you lost your mind?
Or did you just leave it behind?

Your eyes were glazed over, I couldn’t get to you, we were right next to one another yet you were still so far away.
Part of me thinks you left your heart in outer space because you couldn’t handle seeing the monstrosities our world has shown you day after day.
“In outer space everything is so… peaceful,” you whispered to me one night and that is when placed my head against your chest.

Silence.

Your heart, it beats up there in outer space, a steady ‘lub-dub‘ sound filling the emptiness.
Sometimes when I shut my eyes and hold my breath whilst listening to the cold night air I think I can hear it up there.
One day I hope we can escape together, we’ll get your heart back and we’ll drift in outer space till the day our hearts stop beating.

Forever drifting.

We fight.

We yell and scream and cry.
We tussle in each others arms and break away only to feel empty longing for the others touch even if it was fueled by anger.
Dangerous is what we are yet we can’t break away from one another.
We’re going down and we know that everything will crumble into pieces.
Yet we continue.
We yell and we scream and we cry once more.
And we end up tangled in each others arms too happy to speak.
Too happy to yell or to scream or to cry.
Blinded by happiness and our embrace.
We forget what it is we were fighting for.
And pray to never feel empty again only to have this happen all over again.
Volatile song birds is all we’ll ever be.

You are like the smoke in the air, always there yet always slipping through my fingers.

Why wont you return to me my love?
How dare you say you mean nothing to me when you’ve opened my eyes to the world?
I’ve learned so much from you dear, but you make me fear what I’m becoming.
I ran away only to end up right back in your arms.
Now that you’ve turned away from me my eyes have been once again closed.
What is there left in this abyss when there is nothing to hold on to?
If you return me, I ask for only one thing.
Hold me love, like the world was about to crumble beneath our feet.
Hold me because in your arms and only yours, I feel safe once more.
