distant space

tell me, dear:
what did you dream of?
what made your light
fade into the dimness
beyond our human eyes?

where did it stop? when
did you lose your
hope for a future?
can you think further
than the breaths you
take?

what is tugging you towards
the light? what is dragging
you towards the darkness?
which path will you choose?
whose outstretched hand
will you turn a blind eye
to?
where will you take
yourself?
