I Miss You

I think I'll miss you forever.

Ask me how much I miss you,
and I shall compare it to
the way the parched earth
yearns for the countless kisses
of the rainfall.

Every confession
you whispered against my skin 
gave me,
your thankless lover,
breath.

I miss you
just as the moon 
misses the glory
of the blackened sun. 

You chose to illuminate 
the caverns of my fickle heart,
and fashion stardust
from the fading light
in my eyes.

My conquest to find
that numinous experience
blinded me to the march of time
that had claimed first
the brilliance of what we could be.

In that nameless gap
in between the seconds
that pass me by on winged feet,
I think of you.

Time did not wear down
your devotion,
it was I.

Ask me how much I miss you,
and I shall compare it to 
the way the stars 
miss the sun
in the morning sky.

Author's Note

This poem is actually part of a series called "Stars and the Soul". It's published on wattpad lmao xD the link is in my profile if you want to read the rest. Along with the others, the poems all form one big love story ^_^ this is the last of the series. I promise it becomes more painful if you read the eight others preceding this one lol <3

really good job, I loved the last section the most
"Ask me how much I miss you,
and I shall compare it to
the way the stars
miss the sun
in the morning sky"

indeed, in the morning, the starts fade away to return at night, where is no sunlight.

great way of manipulating the words.
