“DARK MATTER” by Cynthia Lund Torroll

Can’t live like this anymore,
can’t taste the rain off your cheek anymore,
can’t face the reflection of the sun’s stare anymore,
can’t wrestle with my demons in the midnight hour.
Afraid, but refusing to back down,
refusing to budge due to stubbornness,
refusing to believe you’ve moved on without me,
and left me stumbling in the darkness

without a candle to hold,
without a dream to weave,
without a cloud to whittle.
The romance backfires,
a boomerang that refuses to let us
live without loving each other,
losing each other,
finding each other,
stabbing each other,
circling around the fact that
we can’t live like this anymore.
