But I still love the sunset

she said:

i must not have a heart

there must be emptiness where

it would be

because i feel nothing

i feel nothing for you anymore and i

wonder if i ever did

the thought of being heartless

breaks me more than hurting

you did

i am ashamed to confess

but it’s true, i know not

how to love

and i am fine the way i am

but when i think about what you

must think

it breaks me more

than breaking you ever did to

me

does that make me a villain

heartless and cold and

numb to feelings

i feel nothing for you

but sorrow, not for

what we lost

but for the emptiness

where love should be and

i play through my mind the words you must say

he said:

Gone are the days we spent together

as if your love for me faded away

Gone is the look you used to get in your eyes

only when you looked at me

We watched the sun melt like fire to snow

and I felt our souls collide like stars

It was beautiful

It was us

How can your eyes and mouth say one thing

but your heart and soul say another

Tell me, were they all the lies

The words of adoration that spilled from your writer’s lips

You said you loved the way the sky looked

when the sun was setting, the day was ending

Was our love just a day for you

that you think just ends and resets in a beautiful explosion

You always loved the way the sun seemed

to destroy itself, to wholly disappear and re-arise

Did you think that way about us

Was the heartbreak lovely like the bleeding colors of the sun

Am I just a tiny star in your universe of choices

because I don’t want to be such a far away star

the kind that has lost its glimmery flicker

I want to be your whole universe of suns and moons and stars

The sunset still reminds me of you

even though you have faded away like its colors

leaving my life, taking my love

But I still love the sunset
