"I found this poem lurking in the back of my mind -- not a particularly healthy place to be."


You are the shadow in front of my eyes
The dark heat behind them
The craters on your surface hold nameless things
But never any fear
For you are always there -- my shady star
I feel the safety in your nearness
Enjoy security in your otherness
But once you are gone
I will be pulled into the black hole that marks your ending
Crushed and obliterated
A pleasing death
However
