O, How I Miss-

look at the stars, look at how they shine for you… and everything you do, for you were the one who spread hope- learning to feel again, starving to cope- my best friend, once taken, now free- o, how i miss the you in me choosing death over love, an answer found not on a silent night but revealed in a raven’s rising flight- i flew as high as an ivory dove, for you were my light, you were the one who faded from sight when push came to shove; hues with shades meant to undo- o, my sweet sister, never knew you craved blue- o, how i miss the yellow in you constellations fear what you became, they danced when you were born and wept when you died- what we felt was not the same, now i sit on the balcony and mourn, thinking of your suicide look at the stars, look how they shine not for me; wearing withered scars, being who i wish not to be, rescue me from death’s debris- i lay on your worn blanket, and ask the gods why- for you are the magic holding the stars up in the sky... o, how i miss that sparkle in your eye ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I chose: "Look at the stars, look at how they shine for you and everything you do" - Coldplay - Yellow 2.10.20 Silent One
