Tricks of the mind

And you will

Fade to grey
As they all did
As they all do
I'm not so sure
Your light
Burnt any more
Brightly
Will burn any longer 
Than the rest
Of them
Heaped in a pile
Somewhere 
In that dusty part
Of my memory
Corpses 
Rotting their poison
Spewing venom 
Through
decayed jaws
Of 
If only 
And ifs and buts
And the truth
If there ever was
Such a thing
Is that bitterness 
Is a suit 
Ill fitted
And poetically
Romantically 
I'd wish you 
The best
Hope 
You float on
In whatever bubble
It was you were 
Wearing 
But the reality
Is
You will rot
Like the rest of them
In a place
That in time
Will be less 
Visited
And 
More importantly
Less significant
Than the
Air 
That I breathed
And was fortunately
Unfortunate 
To share 
With 
You
At some space 
In time
Which soon
Will be
Mostly 
Forgotten
