feather

is this your feather falling slowly from your wings
the stars will shine to light up our ways
wither inside
loved one, I know you wished to fly
from the wounds, to soar
our souls collide, tangling countless times
before they annihilate into dust, into dust, beyond recognition
I will keep you in me
I will keep you in my memories
I will wait for you in my dreams
(would you dream of me like nothing has happened)
will you wait for me in your heaven
(would you dream of me like nothing has happened)
loved one, I know you wished to fly
from the wounds, to soar
our souls collide, tangling countless times
before they annihilate into dust, into dust, beyond recognition
fall from heaven to hell
from promise to sorrow
captive by the stars no longer flicker
wither and turn to dust
left stranded in ruins
where fragments of our dreams are scattered into scraps
the stars that we chased wither into dust
