Fare Thee Well
Last summer we flew kites like they were
rocket ships in the sky.
You died-
indigo clouds cried;
now my lonely string weeps...
you were pain and torment personified.
We used to watch medallion leaves burn in autumn,
smelling the blazing embers of yesterday’s memories.
You died-
crimson grieves inside;
now my lungs miss your fervent scent…
pushed your fears aside.
"Intensely we tarried through lavender fields,
reminiscing upon carefree youthful dreams-
using broken barren branches as playful shields,
strolling around the river bank streams.
I heard the silence, I counted the screams,
now not even the pangs of conscience yields."
Fare thee well my brilliant bright star,
I watched you fade into the universe’s nothingness.
You died-
constellations crashed the tide;
now my black-holed heart mourns…
since you committed suicide.
