insignificance

Just like Icarus,
I was drawn to you

my sun, so bright.
so warm and
welcoming.

but I guess
I flew a little
too close

my wings melted at your touch;
I can no longer fly.

I plummeted into the oceans,
I fell deeply inlove, and deeper.
away from you.
away from your light.

but as I hit the cold and unruly waters,
I get a final glimpse of your perfect rays

the moment when
my tears where no longer visible;
mixed with saltwater that slowly
filled my lungs,

that's when I realized
you always were whole and happy,

with
or

without
me.
