twilight

Night stars twinkle through dusk
Pierced by azure rays, eyes tear
hearts crack, bend, break
mouth opens, soundless air escapes
tears do not fall, but linger in corners
and this is not what you wanted
and you can not stop looking at the floor

I pull my sweater around my shoulders
shivering in the cold of you
absent and despondent I face this night
if I could pull the sun back up
I would stop you from leaving
But one look in your eyes
You are already gone
Just your body remains for now
Until your feet follow your soul

So I step aside
your shadow goes on for miles
now that I have
stepped out of your life.
