LadyMidnight

after nightfall
broken hearts 
clinging to each other
dreaming of a better 
ending for this
fantasy in our heads.

gritty sand 
heaving itself onto the docks
icicle-cold water

People have always told me 
That the sun is always above the clouds
And I squint to look
But I just see gray unforgiving clouds.

When I was younger,
I used to imagine that the sun was the rain.

Someday you'll wish you hadn't left me here
Falling
Freely
Tumbling
Toward 
The dark and dirty ground
You'll mourn me when you see your savior is the one who pushed me over
Don't worry. I'll forgive you

How can you hate when you're lying under the stars?
When you are gazing at hills stretching for miles
Their silvery tips brushed by the copper-colored last light of the sun?
When you are sitting in an empty cathedral 

The ladybug wanders wonderingly across the wide expanse of her table
Her tiny feet reach the edge
And she wobbles wildly
Before tipping over
Spots swirling into space and time
And puckered up against the hard linoleum
