I Do Not Love You, 9/8/10

I do not love you
This much I know
How could I love one such as you
Do I love a star
Shining across the vast distance of time and space
Perhaps gone these thousand years
burst into a flash of supernova
and collapsed in upon itself into an infinite speck of blackness
but still there, in the night sky
When seen on a particular day and time
in this portion of the sky
A beacon used to guide the Traveller home
How could I love such a star
How could I love you
I do not love you
relegated I know
to the coach cabin of your heart
to a center aisle seat
upgraded at times to business class
sneaking past that little curtain
to taste the finer things
before falling back to my proper place
I do not love you
