Slower

 I feel  e m p  ty,

Like my body is a planet and I m floating adrift through space

I ll make myself smaller, 

I ll get swallowed by you, like a black hole 

Creating life somewhere else,

But not here.

I ve lost the sparkle of my starry eyes.

Im not holding star dust in the place of your hands

Your fingertips no longer touch me

This emptiness is mine and mine to bear

Like a burden,

Or a past life .
