Floating Words

Poetry from the core of me.

Subtraction

When you take out you from we

Leaving only me

Or I

Or one

I'm not sure which is right

As all are wrong

Without you by my side

The world has turned

And up is down

Words no longer mean

The things they used to mean

Words like "love" or "ours"

And thoughts like "end" or "now"

Time marches on

Without you here

Leaving me behind

The betrayal of you too great

For me to find the formula

Define the meaning in the end

No plotting of trajectory

No parabolic arc

The constants eliminated

Leaving undefined variables

The great subtraction claiming me

To fall into the void
