I stumbled,
before you ever thought of catching me.
Before the pools of light swimming in my eyes,
became fixated on your spark.
I fell,
melting into the skies.
Until your love
left me wandering in the dark.

I knew as you fell,
for I saw the light hit you.
Illuminating darkened corners,
I saw your bright colours,
and so faltered.
For a moment we soared,
as light as the morning dew.
Till we crashed from the heights,
our realities altered.

I was gone,
the second fate’s lips touched mine,
oh,
my sweet demise.
All the while,
as though part of my hearts design.
I fell prey to a wolf,
who cared not for our guise.

I felt myself yearning,
aching to know more.
So I looked for a moment,
to the depths of my soul.
When you told me though,
that your soul too was sore.
I knew that we needed,
a way to both be whole.

And so I stand now,
my wings they are broken.
Yours too, have been clipped,
for this is life’s torment.
Words fall from my lips,
and yet remain unspoken.
I cry for a new moon,
and with it, our loves assent.
