SUMMER STAR

Like a star

Shining in the summer night sky.

You made me happy.

You made me smile.

You made me forget about my past,

And think about the future I wanted with you.

To bad our thoughts differed.

As did we.

Our minds, to far apart to even comprehend.

Then, things changed.

You turned into the frost on my windows on a winter morning.

Cold and insistent

Always there to hurt,

To cause pain

Or to make it so that I felt none.

But now, like a new year beginning all over again,

My slate now clean of the mess you made.

A me who knows more than before,

But I wish I could have learned it a different way.

In such a way in which I didn't die inside myself.

All alone, without you to help support me anymore.

But in all the tragedy, I learned who I am.

Or somewhat.

All I know now, is that you belong in my past.

And that is where you will forever stay.

Along with a piece of that summer star,

That is shining in my broken heart.
