The sky tasted of sunlight.

When you walked by my side,

My eyes saw scents, my worries were paperweight,

My skin heard the music of the world, opened wide

Like a treasure chest, bursting, brimming

With walks, talks, ice creams, sunsets, telling

A story of what we couldn’t become,

Unrequited love under a spiteful sun.

The sky cried in sunlight.

It opened its heavenly bowels,

Filling my clarity, in hopes I might

Feel as light as a monk’s cowl

Feel the veil cloak my insecurities

As time profounded my anxieties

Forboding of what love’s desperation

Can do to the walls of my mental fortification.

Your lofe is my sunlight.

The oak woods of your eyes held a warmth

That sustained, a warmth that I’d fight

For, for it shone like my own star up north

Shone upon me like revelations of peace

Peace you took from me with such cold ease

Left me dark and alone, away from my one light,

My shadow remained, evidence of your sunlight.

The world could not house your sunlight.

The accused you of being dark in their city,

Solely because you shone a burning white

Only for me, only for my sake, because you loved me,

You shone to direct me, you shone to guide me,

You left me permanently, left me too quickly,

Time rolled in its ranks, now I’m dark and alone

You parted from me, your life forsworn,

To live without you; a struggle like no other,

I breathe in the sunlight; farewell, my almost lover.
