Way Out Beyond

[Hero In The Seaweed]

i have fallen out of your
sure and steady orbit,
i know i have.

i can tell
by the way i float so
aimlessly, drift
through the days without
meaningful direction.

and it's cold out here, so cold.

the newspapers today
tell me that scientists have
discovered a new planet
in our solar system,
way out beyond Pluto.

it's easy to believe.

Hi Hero in the Seaweed ~

I like how you capture the distancing in a relationship; the kind that eventually becomes undeniable. The new planet beyond Pluto gives it an even larger scope that makes your reluctance, but acceptance, clear.
