Comet

[-J-]

To the Warqueen.

(Song in my head: "Frost Waltz" - Kevin MacLeod)

I was unaware

That from my periphery

You would approach me

But approach you did.

My tides accelerated

Like never before.

What did they call you?

Who damaged you so greatly?

Who could be so cruel?

I have better names.

Companion. Friend. Heroine.

Forever revered.

Soon you were taken

By a supergiant star

Who kept you stable.

Frequent encounters

Happily were yet to come

Despite your distance.

The supergiant

Offers what I cannot.

A stable orbit.

My trajectory

Takes me too close to the sun.

You would be destroyed.

I will be patient.

Meet at my aphelion.

Come and rock my world.

. . .

I looked for your trail

But your trajectory changed.

I fear for the worst.

Do not grieve for me.

I will always watch the stars...

... and never forget.
