Those lovely thoughts you once had
now gather dust in the backs of your mind
in the crevices and nooks
where you bury the happy moments
so you don't have to remember the sun
while you sit in your cave of pain.
and I miss your lovely thoughts
I miss the way you would look to the sun
and laugh as the light danced across your skin
I miss your eyes and the gleam they took
when you thought of something dumb to do
at 3am when our parents thought we were sleeping
I miss your smile, your sunlight
the flowers that grew as you walked
you are far from me now, so far
in a darkness that the sun cannot reach
but I will find you, my light, my life.
I will lead us home.
