Fading Stars
I saw the signs,
but I was in denial
I comforted myself, saying,
"You would never do that,"
as I continued to address my ghosts
But the weight was too much to carry
I saw you disappear at the horizon,
like the stars slowly fading into daylight
I knew I wasn’t right for you,
but all I wanted was simple affection
My heart is too fragile
and continues to face heartbreak
in the adversity of time
I promised myself I would not, I shall not, write about you
But it is my pen that never stopped missing you
