"A Million Miles a Minute"

12.9.11

by Caroline Chu.

"I'm finding it more than
obligation to write
about you. It's seemingly
the only thing I can do.

You're there.
I'm here.
Though it can be applied to more than one,
time trickles by.

All the tangibles you left me; the painful
ghosts of the intangible.
They fleet and dance
under canopy and stars, my heart does break.

At ease and deception,
I cannot wish for more
than this.
Resides in my heart eternal.

For you, I am stronger.
When my heart stops,
it will never, for you,
at a million miles a minute."
