Planes
Carly Lynne Nov 2016
Have you ever ridden a plane at night?
You take off.
And at first,
The lights of the city glow, you can see every flash and shiver of the lights.
The street, consumed with each lit bulb..
They were, shining like the sun.
And baby,
That's how I felt when I was with you.
I was just an average girl, just like that average city.
But, once you took me high enough.. I lit up.
I was beautiful, and happy..
Just like I know that city below me was.
Lit up like a firework..

And then I kept going up, up and up in that plane..
it kept bringing me higher and I couldn't stop.
I wanted to see the lights.
That's all I wanted.
We kept going up and up and my ears begin to ache.
And suddenly.
Darkness.
Pure darkness.
I couldn't see the light any longer.
I look around, out the window..
Nothing but darkness.
Did the lights burn out?
Did the happy, give up?
I just want the lights..
Where did it go?
Where did I go?
What have we done?
****.

They'll come back..
they'll come back...
and eventually.
They did.

— The End —
