But June Came And Citylights Broke My Heart

Again, June came -- uninvited,
shadows glimmer as I think about
those endless sleepless nights
I conquered under transcending stars.

Dark grey, the ashes of my collar bone.
Citylights won't break your heart,
as someone used to tell me.
Just recently, they did --
my heart torn apart,
hollow, and the blue bird residing in it
silently died.

I hope you will remember,
the cold breeze at 8PM,
walking home from school,
the footbridges we once knew,
the songs from 3 years ago,
and the many uncertainties
and realities we weren't afraid to face,

I just hope you will...

For I always will,

yes, I always will...

10:54 PM, June 1st,
have already forgotten
the lessons in Taxation and Business Law,
but not your ethereal smile
during those long ago days.

Embroidered with moonlit verses
and unremembered dandelions,
uninvited, June came -- again.
And as someone used to tell me,

citylights won't break your heart.
