Roxy Seymour Poet Epic

Because of Him

She used to be whole,
She used to have 
Galaxies inside
 Her mind and soul. 

You could have looked
Into her eyes
And watched the 
Stars being born. 

Her smile shon 
Like the sun. 
And her laughter could
Have cured the earth. 

But then he came along. 
He ignored the universe
Within her,
He covered her smile
Like the clouds cover
The sun on a rainy
Day. 

And yet she didn't care.
She didn't care because
He was as wonderful
And as mysterious
As the deepest part
Of the ocean. 

He gave her ripples 
Of love,  when
She deserved tidal waves. 

And instead of creating 
Storms for her, he 
Created storms to destroy
Her.

 it slowly did. 
He plucked every
Star out of her soul,
And her smile was
No longer a burning 
Flame.

And so she wasn't filled 
With galaxies anymore. 
The dark matter had 
Consumed her
And left her no more.
