Sad Astronaut

	As you sat on the bed
	Moments from your end
	Inconceivable dread
	Inches from your head
	I can’t bear to imagine you
	In that horror scene
	One too sad to be
	In my mind's eye
	I am there
	Embracing you so scared
	Now you kill me too
	You killed me too
	Decidedly willing to lie for you
	Absolutely willing to cry for you
	Ill at ease in saying goodbye to you
	A part of me will never know
	I am there, again, intervals of red
	An accomplice to
	Things I couldn't do
	In a fable disabled
	I say words like foolish son
	God what have you done
	I'm a thin blue cliché, hopelessly
	I'm a mouthful of doubtful
	Decidedly willing to lie for you
	Say again
	Willing to cry for you
	Finally saying goodbye to you
	A part of you
	I'll never know
	Looking through the spyglass in a punctured sky
	While your garden died
	You couldn't see the sky for your fallen stars
	Endless in your arms
	You were still alive even as the sad astronaut
