Fallen Sky

click
The sky is gone
its fallen now
you haven’t said 
anything in hours.
I’m not cold
and I’m not warm
so if I pull you close
it’s because you’re all I have left.
You know that rhythm you feel?
The one pulse that pulls you through
it’s quiet tonight
ground down to a soft inaudible click.
I’m not worried though
not for me
but you haven’t moved to hold me back.
I’m not worried though
“All we have to do is make sure we keep talking”
I’m not worried though
not for me
but you haven’t said anything in hours.
