I didn’t know
That when you left
I wouldn’t see you
Ever again.

I waved goodbye
I smiled bright
Until they called me
Late at night.

Sometimes I think
When light has gone
You were a lost cause
All along.

But then when rays
Of light arrive
Tears of betrayal
Leave my eyes.

I’m fine during the daytime;
The problems come at night.
My thoughts come out to haunt me
Sometimes they make me cry in fright.

I lie awake for hours
My face is wet with tears.
Sleep seems so far away,
Though my nightmares seem so near.

I didn’t sign up for this;
Crying myself to sleep.
Who could’ve known that now it is
A burden to be able to think?
I often have trouble sleeping because at night, there’s nothing to do and my thoughts catch up to me.

Do you feel our pain?
Do you feel the hopelessness that we do,
Crushing in around us every day?

Do you stop and wonder what it’s like to live a life in a dying world?

Do you feel the pain?
It doesn’t hurt for us, not anymore.
It’s not pain, it’s just life.
It’s all we know.
We’ve known from the start, and we somehow find the strength to get up.

We get up.
Every.
Day.

We are forced to fight.
We see the faults in this world.
We love this terrible, wonderful place.
We were born here.
We will die here?

In the end, do we die?
Possibly the most dramatic thing I’ve ever written. I wrote it right before going to bed because I had this sudden inspiration. It’s mostly about how climate change is ruining the planet and we could eventually die of it. Wow, I’m so dramatic sometimes.

It’s heartbreaking
And amazing
And wonderful at the same time.

I shiver
With the cold
That comes with winter

You’re gone
But I’m here
And I’ll see you again soon
Juno Dec 2019
Though you’re near me now
You seem so far
It’s like you locked your door.

While I understand
I wish you’d stay
Close to me right now.

And I know that soon
Perhaps someday
We could change the way some things are.

But we stand our ground
And disappear
Into the light of this bright full moon.

It was one sentence
That I read.
It reduced me to tears

I wanted to scream
And laugh,
Because there is hope after all.
I actually reacted like this when finishing Marissa Meyers’ Supernova (Renegades Trilogy). If you know, you know!
