Rushing

My Heart is Always Rushing

It would be more painful to forget

More empty to regret

Already holding them close

Held tight like petals pressed

Shadows launching lengthwise

But wiser men have always said

To pick the flowers from the dirt

And ne'er e'er rush in

But my heart is always rushing

The light from your eyes reaches mine

Already like gravity I'm fallen

A single spark, a tiny light

I could be turned by one electron

For you I'd settle on a spin

Solidified if a bit particulate

Your goodbyes, like waves, come in

Just a simple observation

Like clockwork we collapse

And silence overtakes us

As I lose my way again

To the cosmos I am carried

Cast away across the void

Scattering away from your beauty

From the energy and warmth

Etched in echoed starlight

Ancient fires traveling time

Constellations that remind me

Distant memories sublime

Of a singularity unending

Entanglement at any cost

A tune played across these tired strings

A unified and universal chord

I saw those nova blossoms blooming

A dream of what would have been to come

A chorus called out to my heart here

In the darkness, in the cold

That maybe on a longer timeline

I'd catch your eye and take a bow

Leave you smiling in the moonlight

Dancing with flowers in your hair

Get the band all back together

Let that stellar base-line play

Fine tune all the instruments

Until we both begin to sway

And then like lightning we're entangled

Like how it was when this all began

Before the shadows began expanding

Before all the lights went out

Before it all was set to drifting

And I shut that book and held it tight

Flowers bookmarking those memories

When all the stars were right

It would be more painful to forget you

But someday I know I must

And it's funny how they call it heat death

When it's just my heart that's cold
