when you walked in

"If all else perished, and he remained, I should still continue to be; and if all else remained, and he were annihilated, the universe would turn to a mighty stranger."

-Catherine Earnshaw

when all else existed

and yet you were absent

why was life merely a sleepwalk

why do i feel alive

only

after you walked in

if all else perished

and you remained

i would live

on the glow of your radiance

when all else exists and

you walk out

that day will my life end
