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.
