Searching for
a Signal
I
looked into your eyes
Staring into space
Nothing but darkness
The
light of your eyes
That
once brightened my world-
Burnt out
Dying in the density
That
pulled you down
And
drew me in
To
your vacuous immensity
Searching for a glimmer
That’ll re-ignite us
And
lighten the burden of your wait
Remaining static
Like
a screen of fretful pixels
Anxious for coherence
To
form a picture we could both relate.
