Deafening Silence

We were rising.

Like twin flames,

Dancing in the darkness,

Spreading warmth to the stars.

In my mind,

You were a star,

Radiating your astronomical light onto me.

Everything’s blurry 

But I can’t stop writing 

If I take my pen off the paper I’ll break, 

I’ll shatter

I stop writing my heart will bleed rivers of words,

Words I can never say aloud

It’s been so long

Since I’ve seen your face

That I’m starting to forget

The color of your eyes

And the way you smile

But I’ll always remember

The way you cared

The leaves fall
