Starry Night


Starry Night
I want so badly to hold you.
To find you when I close my eyes.
To see you when the day is done.
I sit and I wait, but there is no release.
Nothing comes.
I’m still here and you are elsewhere.
Why aren’t you here?
Why can’t I go?
Do you hear me when I think of you?
Do you see me when I look at your picture,
waiting for you to come home?
I’ve never felt so lost.
I’ve never wanted something so much.
I’m in the field looking at the stars.
Your stars.
Our stars.
It’s not the same.
Life goes on but my heart stays behind.
This isn’t right.
This isn’t happening.
Why can’t I see you?
Why can’t I find you?
There are no stars anymore…
