A World that Once Was- Will Never be Again

Did I know happiness before

you?
Ah, but I did.
Content and Laughter
were acquaintances, too.
There were movies and
sunsets-
landfills and
broken records.
Things went missing,
to be found again.
The Earth spun,
and still it spins
with a slightly skewed
perspective.
The stars reach a little
closer.
The sun feels a little
warmer.
And I feel like a fish with
big eyes, but no gills-
In the place I’ve always
been,
yet not able to breathe.
It’s foreign and menacing
Though beautifully so.
And I know if the world
between us falls
away,
I will not cease to exist.
I will go on.
But, the world that once was-
will never be again.
