you said goodbye
effortlessly
you explained
with even breaths
and walked
with even steps
out of my door
and out of my life
i shakily said
"goodbye"
and i smiled
and pretended
that i
would be okay
but it's been five months
and it's like the sun
ceased to attend morning
or the ocean
refused to make waves
and the earth
forgot
how to roll into big beautiful hills
and mountains
and i
forgot
how to wake up and smile
or walk home by myself
i learned
to spend my weekends alone
and put my head down when i saw you
with them
and her
i was no longer them
or her
with you
no longer a tree in the words
but a ****
among pavement
and that was life
without you
Fading, ever-consistent
slipping
As mute and inconspicuous
As a porcelain moths sigh
These oceans brim darkly with the unrelenting tides
But you see,
they are just a reflection, your pupils dilate at the sky
All through your emerald iris encased,
midnight
in your diamond speckled space eyes
Simply perspective,
one may say
For I peer through a different telescope today
In the littlest things I discover joy
With my mistakes I gain knowledge
In all pleasure, I learn to love myself
Through suffering, wisdom works its dull edge
Simply perspective,
one may say
Makes a worlds difference
In a galaxy of ways
So what they don't stop by.
So what they don't hear your cries.
So what they don't read your story.
So what they don't believe in your glory.

So what, life goes on.
You have everything, everything in your grasp.
So move upon what is and what's to come.
Don't take it personal. Think about it this way. You have more today, than you did on yesterday.

So what, you have to begin again. Take your time. Leap over that wall. Because at the end, you win.

— The End —
