Forgotten Words

Loneliness

My eyes ache beneath the heavy silence

I'm bent in a way that can't be mended

Clinging onto you're stakes for support

But you found someone that made you glimmer

Like fractured starlight, your skin glowed

Smiles whispering on the breeze

And now the aura around me is stifled

This quiet is so loud, louder than thunder

My skin is sleek with rain

Profound and sinister storm clouds collect in eyes

My emotions are icy and starved

I felt desperate for protection against the wind

I was so weary of fighting against this downpour

I wanted to be cleaned and to sit beneath a comforting moon

To sit against shades of faint orange

The trees black spiders against the skies

I needed someone to reach my side

Promising me clear skies and fresh sunlight

I never asked to be replaced by the smoke of this heat

This wildfire that shreds my fingers

And now the loneliness of this cloudburst is all I have
