Pluto

PLUTO

Two years have gone

And I feel like Pluto

An unknown pebble

Captured by the lightest

Tug of gravity

To my world.

I close my eyes

And once again

I feel your arms holding me.

Time has changed nothing

I still want to be

Where you are.

But now I am

Not so sure

That where you are

I would be wanted.

There is a warp in my mind

That matches age and time.

I remember the days of my youth

When love was sunshine,

You were the planet

I orbited, never touching,

Sometimes near, sometimes far.

Now vanquished and vanished.

I wish I believed

Like most people do

That when I die

I will join you

In an afterlife

Of summer sun.

This Pluto cannot believe

That there can be better

Than my youth of summer days,

Better than loving you.

One day gravity will fail me

And I will join the vanished.

If you are somewhere

And if I find you,

Pity me, and welcome me,

For I shall love you always

Until time stops, gravity melts

And the warps of space collapse.
