Broken You

There's a strong wind blowing
A smattering of stars
A cloud-stricken sky
Freckles across the bridge of a nose
A light but steady new snow
And new pinpricks everywhere you look
In those hypnotizing states.
In that certain still place
That changes.
Those little golden dots
That fade with greater lights
That can hold less beauty.
That hold ever less power.

Each one's so bright
Just a little light holding
Burning
Before it's fading away
Just beacons to always remind
Us of mistakes
That we forgot we had made
In our mindless youth
That was only a year ago.

Beacons to remind
And we always regret
That we met each other
Because even the memories are
Fading away into
That endless wave of
Lighter stars that hang on top over us
Watching us
Sighing
All of our mistakes.

Do I want to remember you?

My mind is tumbling
Falling down into that sky over me
Shattering from how you left me
Broken and crying
Tears falling into the cracks
Trying desperately to repair
Something I didn't break
Merely let you tear it apart,
Breaking something I told you to keep together.
But when I gave it to you
I suppose
My fate was set
And the path I walked on before started
Crumbling.

I have nothing else to give you
No gifts left
I've given you everything
After you broke them,
You left me stripped with nothing
Torn apart and thrown away
Frost covering things I can't hold
Things that winter is breaking.

I've said goodbye.
