I saw and felt the fireworks
that lit up the  midnight sky,
the thunderous bursts that dazzled
but all too quickly faded

My heart was the canvas for your sky
You exploded it with your your words
half spoken truth and entire lies

And like the moon,
I only saw one side of your face
but given enough time,
the sun always rises.

The flame I thought sparked
was no firework but a warning flare
and in the light of day
there’s no hiding the smoke.
