Description
Just as a poet faces the blank pageI face the darkening of what has been—
The disconnect of lives that comes with age
Has stranded me, detached, in ancient skin.
Fill in the blanks of moments if you will
With wild nights, the fleeting warmth of pleasure;
Fill in the silence so; but even still
cheap copies cannot resurrect such treasure.
Yet though I know there never again will be
Another star who burns as bright as you,
A light will reappear and shine on me
Just as the moon stays not forever new.
I will not drift alone up in the sky—
New love will strike, I swear it, ere I die.

Another terribly familiar sensation...

Lots of luck on the love striking is what I meant, in case it wasn't clear.
