My Dead Language

There is wholeness between us

Something peaceful as eternity and

Faithful as the sky among unknown clouds.

Familiar and absolute.

There could be a destiny for us.

If it wasn’t for uncertainty.

If it wasn’t for a broken shame.

That whispers and then begs your name.

I thought I could keep us beating.

I, alone.

Alone I do not work.

So greatness has been lost.

Then again anything worth loving is worth losing.

Because you never really lose it.

So maybe it’s all worthwhile.
