the ethers edge…

I can not deactivate
the sequence 
it must play out…

0000100111100000001100000
11111000001010010100111000
00001111010100000011010110…

on and on it continues 
what if it doesn’t end
what if it’s been as this
for a thousand lifetimes
a thousand hellos
a thousand goodbyes
what if it always remains
as love never lived out together
must I love you as this
empty hands
full heart

I fear I do…
I will…
I have…

forever
at the ethers edge
