Eternity

Some days,

I wrap myself in love

like fairy dust,

sheltered from the coldness

of your heart

 

Softly, I sip

the dew of summer mornings,

peeling away from you

to find a fortress

in myself

 

Nights slip by

in soundlessness,

and the waves of eternity

warm my heart like

gold

 

I am forever without you

and everything

for myself
