I miss her,
the fiery star.
With another,
adrift . . . afar.

Distance will reap.
Refuse to soften.
Pain to inwardly seep.
Repeatedly, often.

Luck, never stay.
It's better that way.
Absent, alone . . .
No molten throne.
No one to miss dearly.
Really . . .

Dear self: Remind me,
as often as can be.
Unfortunately.
My every desperate delusion,
reach the same conclusion.

Those bright spots amess the moon.
I'll endlessly count them soon.
Atop a dark velvet shelf.
Longing for, wishing for . . .
Losing myself.

This is poignant.. I love the opening line.. did you intend to change up your rhyme scheme halfway through? From L1 through L8 you used a/b, then L9 to L21 is aa/bb.. until the conclusion.. forgive if you meant it, just ignore me!  heh

I'm afraid i'm sort of an impulsive person, i write in short bursts and don't edit very much. The switch in structure was unintentional, i just write it as i think it.

Thanks for the question though, Amaryllis.

Welcome to Pip!

You rendered your feelings very well here. The rhymes amplify their intensity I think.

Love,
Margherita
