See You Depart
The stars in your eyes
Were dimmed
by being near
The canvas
of my black, black sky
So you were
a shooting star
Falling
far, far away from where you are
And I
wished upon you
Wondering
what earthly haven you’d go to
What arms
of mud would wrap you up
In places
you only bared to me
What leaves
would hold the shattered pieces
That I once
cherished in you, as you cried
But you
walk out, steps heavy and cold
Mouth set, eyes
defiant and bold
I think I’ve
died, for ya
I wish upon
you, my darling shooting star
I hope I’m
not broken by the breaking of my heart
As I see
you depart.
And I wish
upon you, that those muddy arms
Which wrap
around you now
Can keep
you warmer
Than a stupid night-breeze
Can ever hope to do.
