Aurora Erickson Poem
There's a girl in the graveyard that never seems to leave.
She hangs like dust in the autumn air.
She has beautiful flowers and tangles in her hair.
When it seems she's right there, she's nowhere.

Aurora Erickson Poem
When stars are falling, the moon's exploding into the night time sky
I turn to look for that familiar face, but you're not by my side
I bite my lip, try not to cry, and turn my gaze back towards the sky
It's beauty once warmed me but now I'm cold
Like the touch of a corpse, growing old
My temper is shorter, my emotions are dragging, being pushed along through mud
I walk, I trip and fall to the ground, distracted I fall with a thud
I get up and wipe myself off, I take a deep breath and look around
A bird in the night sings a beautiful note, just loud enough to hear
I follow its song along through the woods, till I'm closer near
The forest is lonely, not safe anymore
I run and I run, but I crave more
The beauty is fading into a deadly nightmare
I'm trying to search for you but you're just not there
A pile, a heap, of torn butterfly wings, where I settle down to lie
But no further I will continue this poem, for I don't wish to make you cry
