They left on a sunny September afternoon.
Like the sky setting on twilight, my life only got darker.
They left on a sunny September afternoon but with them, they took the sun.
It rained for the next week, turning my sadness into muddy puddles.
Puddles that I could swim in, drown.
The weather got colder and my eyes redder.
Alone I was lost.
Frost bit at my heart.
Warm twinkling lights in the windows,
But I preferred the stars.
Outside with the wind
And chaos of the cosmos.
I let the cold in,
From my fingertips to my bones.
As I looked into the eyes of the universe
I felt so small, and oh so cold.
So the stars came down to join me.
Enveloping me in their warm light,
Like birds nestling in my heart.
