Spin baby, spin.
You came
out of nowhere,
and led me on.
I saw you
far away
in the distance,
and drove
like a madman
to get inside you.
You looked
so definate,
powerful,
and I knew you
wouldn't let me down.
I risked so much
just to be near you,
bouncing along,
bottoming out,
unable to see what
was right in front of me
because you had me,
all of me.
It was thunderous.
And I was getting
so close to knowing
you from within.
But then you started
to change.
You began
to become
smaller and
more transparent.
At first, I couldn't
believe it, but
eventually I had to
admit it.
You're magic was
leaving you.
So, I risked even more,
desperate to touch
you before your time
was over.
And then you began
to come back to me.
But only for a short time.
And when I finally reached
the place that should have
been ours, there was nothing.
No sound.
No smell.
No visual trace.
Only subtle displacement.
And I wept,
because I knew:
You would have been the best ever.
