Sometimes I will wonder
How you are
And in doing so
Feel a pang of
Starry regret
Is it my fault, I think
That what we had
Crumbled
Ashes -> ashes
Dust -> dust
Does the light still dance
In your hair like it used to
Does music still sound
When you laugh
In those moments,
I steel myself
Pulling myself back
From the well of memory
Its waters are cool
Its taste comforts
Yet the more I swallow
It turns to ice
Burning, cloying
Here there be demons
Here there be monsters
I pull away
The well lies forgotten
Once more
I'll think of you from
Time to time
Pain wells up
Yet I smile
Soon (I hope)
Pain will become
Mere memory
