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 ![]() ~Amaryllis |

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 |
