Sunset

The Good Lord Giveth,
And The Good Lord Taketh Away,
The sun is set on our times together and I hold no hope for a brighter day.

Everything seems to be of a darker pigment,
In fact a sadder hue,
For I used up all the stars in the night sky to wish for you— and me— and us— anew.

She broke my heart into tiny shards, but she inspired a few decent poems... WORTH IT! Thanks for reading Jan. :-D
