Once you were,
the most exciting part of day
An effervescent light,
that screamed past me on the train
that followed me through the streets
Couldn’t focus
Couldn’t wait,
to here that beautiful voice
that made me weak,
made me tremble
And started the storm between my thighs

Once you were,
the only one
who could make me feel the rain
Make me feel free
and powerful
and all of those beautiful things
a girl,
should be made to feel

Once you were,
the sole love on my line
An earth shattering sound
The clearest face in my dreams
and the only song I could ever remember

But now you are,
gone
and I feel like my legs gave out
My hearing stopped cold
my voice went soft
Because my heart stopped beating
the day we said goodbye

And the silence is maddening.
