Dimmed Lights Of Vegas

what do the flickering lights
of an empty vegas
say
to a twinkle?
or do they never say at all?
do they simply look on
and wonder
whether
in their glory days
they could have been

what does the falling fast
say to the falling faster?
or do they just sit
skin to warm skin
and welcome
the long ride to come

what did he do
so that
the ball of fear
tended to negativity
inside the skull?
or did he just smile
and wave a hand
in fond farewell?

what would mean
for me
to see you rise
like the blazing comet
so that i fall
harder, faster, better?

it is not the
love
of the end
nor
the fear
of the pain

just a cruel sense of humour
