Song of Andromeda
You were my star burning bright
Flaming chalk, and scorching light
One day ruptured to critical mass
And I knew I would lose our lazy days and endless chats
“we” was a notion sinking from present to past
So I schemed, as clever as I am, I was clever to make it last
I cut us into fractals and sent us hurtling this way and that
Because I could not face the matter of the fact
You would leave me
Or I would leave you
Swallowed completely
Ironic, but no longer in love, from pink to blue
I could only know you for as long as we had
The problem was not subtraction, multiplication, I had nothing to add
And the thought of losing you left me irreparably sad
So split as we were, we were everywhere at once
Because the heart knows, and wants what it wants
The happiness, sadness, ecstasy and pain
I would not lose you without a thousand lives lived to hopelessly try to explain
How vast, how unimaginably large the love I have for you is
