Now that you’re not here
our shadows meet behind us
They flee when the night falls
to converse behind trees
when we’re unable to sleep
They find delight in their secrecy
While we make sense of the void
The stars witness their dying light
while the starless city represents ours
The old tree simply recalls many who failed & tried
A powerful struggle against us, the masterminds
but the tree whistles carbon dioxide to keep them safe
The death of hope plays under the redundant shade
as the stage gets set for the dawn of a new hope
The sun finally wakes to separate them
Asleep finally
The Rome & Juliet of the night
