Look up when you feel
The stars have stopped shining
Lost for words left
Hanging suspended
Not emitting their glow
Yearning for the light to
Cover them head to toe
I was on HP reading poems and finishing some writing when I found an artist I used to collaborate with that goes by Slate Blue.  "Stars in a sky yearning for light," inspired this poem.  Thank you for for your inspiration, and welcome back to HP. :)

Empire
I could do it.

I have no concern for myself anymore
The only thing that keeps my heart beating
Is knowing that if it stopped
It would break yours
She smelled like cigarette smoke
and *****
and Oh,
how I wished to be
the ash or the bottle
that fell
from
her
lips.
