Without You

Without You

My heart still
will beat
slower now.
It will take blood
to the outreaches
of my body
and yet it can no
longer take me
to the meadow
of butterflies
nor rush
to fill my mind
with sparkles.
It will not skip
like a giddy child
nor dash like a sprinter
to outrun time.
It will not ache
delightfully.
It will not feel
its way through
the dark.
It will rise
and it will fall
like tides
but the waves
and the scarlet moon
will never come
again.
