In stark sadness, I sit. Fate’s cruel fist slowly squeezes the life out of me. In agony, I count each second of time I must silently endure, This miserable existence I call my life. Like a comet, you entered my world! A brilliant, glowing star, exploding into my space-time. Your coming, I thought, portended a joyous new beginning. A talisman of the new era of love and happiness, ’till death do us part. Like a comet, you passed so tantalizingly close. But like all heavenly bodies, you traveled just beyond the reach of this poor mortal’s touch. In stark sadness, I sit. Surrounded, haunted by the memories that swirl around me, Like the cloud of cosmic dust that trails your majestic passage through my universe. I weep, as I watch you disappear, once again, into the darkness from whence you came. Your heavenly passage, oblivious to the effect you had on this insignificant worshiper. I weep, knowing that in my lifetime, you will not pass this way again.
