when you absorb the spilled ink

How did we end here?
Did you begin, with my heart beat in your ears ?
Was I weeping from being born or from noting you?
Gone
Were we arrows, aimed at each other in the dark?
Or twists and turns, decisions made at stop lights throughout?
I missed you and I did not know
Until eyes lit fire, until blood pumped faster
When you smiled
I knew when my heart sighed, within me
Recognition
Pain
Fear
How did we end here?
Arrows, aimed at the dark sky
Following the course of the stars
