Love Poem: Dark Matter

Dark Matter

Love is like the dark
matter: it holds together 
the universe, yet

mine was broken and
fallen into myriad 
of subatomic 

particles like the
ashen, shattered pieces of
a fractured mirror.

I am aware, 
my love, that I need to go
on the journey of

mine, without you. But 
tell me, where to start; where to 
take the very first 

step into a new 
life when I am even 
incapable of

moving..? Even the 
stars faded tonight, the moon 
was blinded, the sky

is gone out choking
the love-red sun. Tell me who 
am I suppose 

to make it on my 
own without your dark lightning;
without your black silken light.
