frailty

i want to be
who you slink back to
on cool, turbulent nights
while furies nip your heels
granting you no respite

we write in the frailty of knowing that
someday
i will not be who i am to you
my sun will set
my light passing

cause we
is a word that instills
dread, fear in me
that i could lose
a light worth drowning in
