To the girl who promised to stay

"I will stay."

These were the last words you said before you decided to leave;

—you left me alone.

And you mouthed the words,

"I promise."

These were the words that you always used,

The words that you've woven by your silvertongue;

—words that covered your lies.

And here I am,

under the deep, wide night sky,

gazing under the stars that slowly fade to rust,

those stars that shine the gloomy night sky;

—those stars that once shone for us.
