A space

 From Ladies Pass It On

THERE'S A SPACE

There's a space,

in my life,

in the ground,

in the world.

A space so vast I must avoid stepping too close and

falling in.

Falling to the end of all time and all feeling, where

nothing makes sense anymore and the air burns like fire.

I tiptoe, small steps, around that space.

I live a full day fearing it, knowing the pain it holds.

Sometimes I feel a surge of courage and rush towards it,

ready to dive in and be consumed

by the past,

by the memories,

by the pain,

by you.

What sweet hell that would be.

There's a space where you once sat my love, wider than

the world itself.

Greater than the point of all life.

One day I will go inside and meet you there.

Just for a moment.

When time weaves me a cloak to protect from the burn

and

your love becomes the cushion that bears the brunt of

the impact.

For now, I tiptoe around the space,

that's wider than the world itself.
