Cold Cosmos
Curiosity was the beginning
Of our passionate conjunction
The cosmos brought us together
The Milky Way's warm embrace.
You said things to me
And wrote things to me
Like no other before
And likely never will again.
I fell in love
I became emotionally attached
Limited by our marital prisons
An all-too-brief interlude.
Now you want time and space
And I am giving you that
Because I must
And because I love you.
Cold cosmos.
