These cloudy nights I'm grateful For how I cannot see you, The way the water blocks your eyes And makes my heart less see-through. One year ago we made a choice How fateful that weekend was, By chance insomniatic texts Lead to a night sin lust. My car, coffee, a couch, so free, I could spend days remembering, My love for you had expanded And beauty lead to simile. "Your eyes are like the brightest stars." And so began a life of soil As I can only look down. Not up, above, at those lights For if I do I frown. I recall your use of words Beating around the bush, Eventually you came to terms And "I L you," came, pushed. They say a prestige only works If you can reappear. I know you are not a magician For nowhere are you near. And since you left, My heart feels cold Whenever I look up. I can't help but to wonder if This will persist enough, To drag onto my oldest days How I had pushed my luck.
