I Thought About You

Per la mia sorella,

Outside, cold, under the broken stars with an open heart

Falling upward, through drops, I strove to make my wish spark.

It felt heavy, destined to doom from the start

I tried to reach the streaks of far-flung fires with my heart.

I made a wish because I thought about you

It was genuinely all I could do

I admit it won’t ever come true

So I sat silently in a horseshoed courtyard thinking about you.

As Miles swooned between us, I gave myself to this night,

Letting everything else disappear out of sight

So this roving memory would gain might.

Accepting finite certainty I gave up to this night.

I waited under the twinkling suns alone

Let it come true and be known

I don’t wish to glimpse etched stone.

I remained stranded in a yard all alone.

I sat starring, as the starry sky turned black

The thought emptied from my voice, as faith lacked

I wished maybe as a constellation you’d come back

Unanswered, my hope turned black.
