Unmake The Universe

(Love Lost)


Unmake the universe one atom at a time

Withdrawal before you make mistakes

Babies will come out wrong

Light waves move smoother in reverse

They wave goodbye faster than they came

Love at the atomic level moves on faith


When love is missing there goes the world

Voids open up their cavities of black

There goes the neighborhood and us

Swallowed up in nothing

Mysteries unravel as is their fate

They shrivel up and die in outer space


Tell the universe to stop, to listen

To remove minutes from the hours of the day

Subtraction is a mission to that end

Nothing was there in the beginning

Nothing but empty space between the ears

And now the space between us


Unmake the world in front of you

Remove smiles from the face

Wait for a chemical reaction

Love works best that way

The tide hides before it rises

It waves goodbye one last time

When you see the results of hatred and the lack of love, what a thought. Unmake the universe. Wind it back. Erase it all. Depressing, but you can't help going there. A good morning from me Earl.
