The sun is rising
And I can feel
The first stings
Of its warmth
On my skin.

I can hear
The birds
In the forest
Began their
Daybreak song.

And here I am,
Eyes closed,
With the morning
Dew pressed into
My skin,
Glistening like
Diamonds
In the light.

But,
Though the day is
Coming with a
Promise of something
Beautiful,
My soul is heavy.
Burdened with
Scars and mournful
Memories.

I feel like I
Could shatter
Into a million
Pieces,
With my heartbreak
And my tears.

I watch the stars
Disappear behind
The clouds
And your voice
Plays like a song
In my mind.
The highs and lows.
The vibrato and the
Harmony.

I breathe into the dawn
And the smell of
Rain
Fills my nostrils.
Along with it comes
The beautiful pain
And sweet release
Of yesterday.

I shudder at the memory
Of your sudden goodbye
And choke…
