Wavering

Your love staggers through the winter air
as I watch it waver in space.
This goodbye feels so uncertain,
yet I know it is for real.

I thought what we had was special,
but its unfortunate that our love
was not protected by eternity.

How could my sight have been so distorted?
If I look closer into the heart of us,
I can hear that the sirens were there all along.

I struggle to be thankful for our love,
wondering why you happily watched us ascending,
just to stand back and watch us crash and burn.
