Promise To the Sun
I kept looking up
and seeing the night sky
slowly being robbed of its stars,
One by one
they faded as dusk turned to dawn.
And in that moment
I knew you were giving up
your cold darkness,
Promising the sun it could keep your soul
for all of eternity
if you didn't love me
as much as it's light did.
Dawn slowly faded into dusk
but you weren’t there in the sky.
You were beside me.
I looked at you
and for the first time
I didn’t see the moon in your eyes.
Instead, I saw a blazing fire,
a present from the sky
and a memory of your eternal promise to the sun.
Then I knew, before you even spoke the words,
that I would never have to look up ever again.
