Fading Stars

I saw the signs,
but I was in denial.
I comforted myself, saying,
"You would never do that,"
as I continued to address my ghosts.
But the weight was too much to carry.
I saw you disappear at the horizon,
like the stars slowly fading into daylight.
I knew I wasn’t right for you,
but all I wanted was simple affection.
My heart is too fragile
and continues to face heartbreak
in the adversity of time.
I promised myself I would not, I shall not, write about you.
But it is my pen that never stopped missing you
