a mosaic of all the people i loved

odds and ends, I collect
from strangers to friends,
lovers to reflect
that everything ends

I gather a mosaic fragment
it belongs to you
aware of segment
yet it turns me blue

we lit together
a candle, no doubt
of always and forever
but eventually it burns out

there's left the pieces
of mosaic, I add to mine
eternity ceases
the sun exists to outshine

I will let you go
now, art you coved
maybe I'll outgrow
the mosaic of all the people I loved
