Orbit

Orbit

A Poem by Max Whipple III
"

Floating away..

"

The world falls away

your words slice through the curtain

in front of my face

I remember the worst of times

the weight was there

..and the pain

but the meaning persisted

and is lost on me

here and now

the thoughts of you

the only heaviness in my life

gravity pulling

the rest just floats away

I orbit our universe

a shattered cluster of dying memories

stinging my eyes

I still love you

it tears through me

revealing the truth

you make me sure that I know

that I will never know

what should have been
