dissembled (Collab with Star)

you collaborated with silence,
fleeced by darkness, so
your shadow became frail.

where there was once eyes
filled with vigor, there is now
a pair of dull muddy pools
staring back.

and i found myself lost
again between the flickers
of your candle, praying
you won't disappear.

but sometimes prayers aren't
enough. you vanish into the
wind and i am left wondering
where you belong.

is there a place for me
to float too?

or will i lose myself
to the indefinite
you?
