Leaving Eyes

You,

you cried

it hurts

to write

that tears

they fell

from leaving eyes

waving once

twice

more tears

on stairs

that creaked,

"Goodnight."

Your word

a sword

my throat

my legs

went out

fell down

and you

were gone

you left

me there

with darkened stares

that night

no more

would stars

streak skies.
