Stars blanket the night,
I think about you and how
tonight you’ll sleep under a blanket in another State…
probably glad to be away.
I think you must have packed your sadness neatly away and
left it here for me.
I see the way your eyes grow bright (like stars)
when friends surround you
And I cant help but envy them…
They get the best of you.
For too long now I have felt the growing void
Astonished, I keep trying to rekindle what was
but find myself, instead,
burnt by the flame.

You have expressed your emotions perfectly.

Well, this write, strikes very close to home, I'm sure many of us can relate to this all too well...quite reminds me of thoughts I had during my most recent failed relationship lol...heh this says it all For too long now I have felt the growing void
Astonished, I keep trying to rekindle what was

honestly
I dont see a thing wrong here - the anguish of rekindling something that cannot be rekindled...or please look at me the way you used to.
Astonished or anguished...
Bravo on this,

This is such a beautiful poem; it draws me to want to send you all the money I have. And yet to think you can just write with such passion like a tap flows is quite scary. I worry about my hard earned few dollars and what might come of them. ---- Thank you (I love this poem)
