Just being near you feels wrong
It feels like being near you is
like I've tainted your beauty.
Like I'm also taking the colour and happiness out
of your world.
Your perfect
I'm not
Your beautiful
I'm not
The only thing I'm left with is all the sadness of this world.
When I first saw you, I finally understood.
I saw life become slow,
other people’s voices became mute.
You walked with the elegance of a princess.
I still haven’t recovered from you.
I don’t ever want to.
Because every time I see you,
your beauty never fades—
it only escalates.
The sky will still be adorned
with blue… and dark,
filled with birds… rain… and stars.
Your things will be used,
owned, or left behind,
touched by hands
that never knew your name.
People will sit
and watch every sunset
until they, too
disappear.
