cold hills night stars

in the convoluting corners of my mind
are cold hills night stars
and a smiling face that smears itself
across the back of my eyes
for every second i'm awake
i am brought back
to a patch of darkness for grass
underneath a twinkling roof
where i held your hand
a quick and measly moment
before you walked away
toward sleep and forgetting
now around the rocks and stones in my way
basking in the muted stars
my chest lifted with lightness
while all there was you
my head and mouth could hold
and when i watched you go
back to your life and your love
there went your heart with you also.
