a sun
As if you weren't adored;
as if there wasn't a lush field outside your bedroom window that grew
fractal organisms, yearning to please, not the sun, but you;
as if that same, neglected sun didn't weep after setting, betting
that your comprehension was pretending;
you leave.
As if you weren't adored;
as if you understood the complexities of the sun behind the field's indifference,
the solar body that protects our light and warmth even as it descends into dissonance;
as if you wanted those immeasurably dense eyes, in order to be the latest obsession,
pitied by the field (oblivious to the pity recession) inhaling your lie soaked “confessions”;
you leave
this place, which has squandered its supposedly bottomless well of sympathy,
and lost an unappreciated star that went interred, unnoticed, under 6 feet of apathy;
my life, which is just another blade to overlook, but knows enough not to pay mind
to the direction that this august meadow projects, hoping itself isn't blind;
this Earth (the only witness to your inconspicuous treachery),
hoping you never feel fulfilled as you thought you'd be.
