The Moon In my Sky

It comes in waves -
the grief of You.
how the heart craves
the smell too.
Some days are lighter
the mind is numb
some nights are brighter
as You shine above
a platinum disc of unblemished light.
I imagine You - me on your mind
the heart grows tight
with un-shed tears,
broken promises
and lonely years.
Most days go by
heavy as rock
the breath is a burden
and living is a shock.
You are a sliver in the sky tonight,
a faraway crescent
of quicksilver light -
now here, now gone
hiding behind clouds
teary and torn
trying your best to be rid of me
while I hold dear
every memory.
You crushed my soul
and my heart did die
but every single night
You are the Moon in my sky.
