fate's
    song

fate brought us together

i like to believe that on the very day we met

the stars aligned in perfect formation

our souls walked down the spiritual path 

of a holy forest while we were asleep

dipped a toe in

a toe out

and fell in all at once

where they bathed each other's backs with 

the desires of their hearts

echoing

like music to their ears

they danced.

fate ripped us apart

it was abrupt and left me with unfamiliar thoughts

of experiences my soul felt that night

what do i have to say to you 

and how do i say it?

can i pull the words out of the sky and steal them from god?

i've asked him to put them in the lines of my palms but

he burns them instead

there is no moonlight in this forest

for me to find my way home to you

i cannot follow the trail of ashes

to ashes

much like our lost love that's dust

to dust.
