I gave you what didn't belong to you.

[swansofnever33]

that space, that place,

that center of my chest, on top of your chest

on top of three stories, on top of the world,

on top of a timeless, limitless place of consciousness;

was never meant to be yours.

The space in my brain, where my critical

self and love meet is where you have been on layaway.

dusty, and out of fashion, still.

I would pick you up, and we would transcend

high in the sky in a place we'd never know,

just to be

a few seconds

with me.

Today my full whole heart

saved me without my knowledge and

gave you away,

freed up space on my shelf and

blew the dust bunnies to the ground.

And now its like a bike

on your seventh birthday

ear to ear, happy and free,

you can soar into someone else's sky.

I waved at you from afar,

Good Bye Old Friend, I smiled

full well knowing

you'd never hear me.

Until the next time,

or maybe until never.

Our Sunset is here and

We must ride

into our forever

golden light.
