You loved me once
You loved me twice
You loved me everyday
Every moment, every smile, every second
But you left me
Leaving only whispers behind
I feel your memory in the silence
I love you in the emptiness
I see you in the darkness
But you left me
Your ashes scar my dreams
Your scent haunts my days
Your eyes pierce mine
Drowning in memory
I see you once more
Your fingers brush mine
I listen for your heartbeat
And find only the hummingbird’s song
And I remember
You left me

I don’t know how to love
My heart cries everyday for you
It stings with the needles that your words create
Your actions burn like fire in my tender skin
My eyes swim in rivers of regret
I see you with contempt
But love you with life
My brain bites the sound of your song
Every night I long for you in my arms
Slowly, the gravity of your presence kills me
It shatters my soul and carves my wounds
My flesh kindles in the flame
That you stir with one glance
Only you quench the ache that you create
I would die for you
But you would **** me first
Love is tangled in between
I don’t know how to love

The Sun lets its rays circle around us
It’s golden light touches us every day.
We take one breath and feel the emptiness as it courses through our lungs
Existing as just wisps of our pain.
The Sun never stops shining
Yet one day we will stop breathing.
It cannot revive the silent beat of our heart
Or bring back the red flush of our cheeks.
We become one less person to share the glow of the sun
Our eyes stare unyielding into the brightest light,
Seeing nothing.
Now I am in the wind whistling through the trees.
I am in the golden and purple streak of the sky
When the Sun opens its eyes.
You will see me reborn in the bloom of a young rose,
Beauty reflecting in my innocence.
I have no body; I am only my soul.
I am whole for within me is nothing but what God created.
I am exposed to you within death
For I am stripped of the flesh that gave me life.

One glance at the night sky,
And its shimmer reflects in his eyes.
Twinkling them as I surround myself with memory
Beaming down at him.
My heart flutters when locked with his.
Our bond tied from the Earth to the heavens.
Raindrops touch his cheeks,
Glistening under the shallow light upon him.
I blow a kiss through the winds,
Which rustles his hair as he weeps.
My soul returns the grief of longing.
And I slowly slip away.
So sunlight may dry his tears once again.
This is a response to Moonlight Love.

A single life in the night sky,
Matches the innocence of her eyes.
Eyes that once fixed upon me,
Beamed with the glow of a thousand rubies.
Midnights spent gazing at the gems,
That dotted the sky.
With her warmth to coat the mist,
That shielded us from the unknown.
Seconds flow into years
That I don’t feel her eyes on mine.
He stole the spark from within her
And painted it across the heavens,
So that the moon shone the brightest of them all.
