A Momentary Lust

One day, when the sky stops falling

I will return to myself

I will look around, with relief in my bones

And allow my muscles to melt

I will find the things that I used to enjoy

And my time will know no limits

The voice in my head will quiet

The people we’ve become will cease to exist

You will no longer need me

And I won’t be so depending

We’ll no longer falter to keep each other up

When the sky stops falling


And when will we get there

With the sky so endless

There is so much of it left

A false promise of eternal bliss

I will follow my own sky

And maybe you’ll find yours

We’ll find our joy untethered

Not a single thing more

And when we are happy

We’ll be completely separate

You’ll cry for me

For a fate you never even considered

I’ll cry for us

But only for what might have been


I am not searching for eternal bliss

Only for you to stop dragging me down

I can no longer wait for the sky to stop falling

I long to be just a distant memory of momentary lust


In the end,

This is a happy ending for both of us
