Julie
By: jade
you sit by the fire
on this second stormy night
my wool sweater draped over you
falls eagerly over your soft white skin
sleeves too long cut off your hands
firelight reflected in your eyes
your hair still wet from the rain
curls and clings to the sides of your face
even though the night is cloudy
one star fell through
and sits now in my living room
celestial body
heavenly touch
i am so truly
blessed to have Julie
but now the stars are so far away
all i can do is pray
that you'll come back to me
but stars belong up in heaven's sky
no matter how hard i try
i cannot believe my own lie
or cease to cry
ever since the day you said goodbye
i can still remember
that night so cloudy
when one star fell through
the sky and sat in my
living room
celestial body
heavenly touch
i was so truly
blessed to have Julie
you will always be my guiding star
i look up to you to show me the way
no matter how near or far
the journey you lead i will take
for you are all that matters to me
in this world: black, corrupt, and hard
i would give up everything
because you already have my heart
now i look skyward
on nights so cloudy
looking at all the stars
wondering which one
is you
celestial body
heavenly touch
i didn't know
how much i had lost.
