Mirror the Sky

 Haven’t looked up at the sky in a long time
I forgot that clouds move
I engraved your name in my heart
So I will never forget that feeling
I paved your smile across my face in your favorite color
So I could never feel blue
I let the sun soak in my skin like a bath long due
So you will always make me new

I faced the mirror and turned my back to blank walls
So you could see what I’ve seen all a long
I prayed on my knees until they bleed
So I could undo your wrongs
I listen to the moon that night
So you could wake up and see the light
So sorrows can make room

I haven’t looked up at the sky in a long time.
I forgot that clouds move.
I haven’t looked up at the sky in a long time,
because I forgot that I always see you.

Author's Note

about long lost love, about making changes to keep someone, its about not wanting to love someone so much so you avoid certain angles and places so you will not be reminded of how deep your love is for this person. BUT THEN THERES IS THAT MOST COMMON thing that you cant aviod that reminds you of this person...like the sky...either if the persons dead or alive you are both looking at the same sky...its a amazing thing.

Wow what an ending to such a terrific piece... I could feel my heart sinking just reading it... even through the longing and pain your words were still captivating.
