I remember it was a warm summer day

You looked back my way and smiled 

Face lighting up like a million stars in the sky

You said to me, not to be afraid
Not to be scared that someday, soon, you too would be gone 

Telling me through tears of why you had to leave 

For years I wondered what made you leave

In the middle of the day

now that you're gone 

I am frozen remembering your jovial smile 

replicated onto my face. Without you I am afraid 

 constantly imagining we look up at the same ever changing sky 

Nights after you were gone I gazed up into the dark inky sky 

Remembering how she screamed at you, so loud it hurt my ears demanding you leave 

Unmasking my lies of pride, exposing I was afraid 

Through the tears that streamed down my face. I could never possibly forget that day

Your devastated expression as you left, leaving your smile 

And now, I am buried, in my sheets: trapped, since you've been gone 

I've wondered what pieces of me you took, now gone

Looking at the reflection, unable to see the girl you once knew, looking up at the terrifying sky 

Resembling the one thing I thought would always be here; your astonishing smile 

You accepted her demands. You dimmed your light. You listened to the voices “leave”

My identity shattered without your being, and since that day 

of sorrow and sadness, I've been nothing except afraid

Once you left I looked at myself, and told myself  “quit being afraid”

Trying to convince the inner workings of my mind to somehow dig up memories long gone  

Since that summer day 

When you went away, walking so far you disappeared with the fading sky 

The portrait of my identity, disappeared when you left 

She stole my life when she stole your smile 

I cant even imagine how to live without brilliance: your smile 

Because you're too afraid 

Of confronting the voices which told you  to leave 

And since you're gone 

I will go crazy. Screaming up at the cursed, callow sky 

Recollecting when my whole life changed, on that grim summer day

Warped, unrecognizable, my face, thinking back to before that day. Irreplaceable your smile

looking up to the blazing sky, oppressed by your absence, when we were afraid and

she screamed at you to leave, creating a divide, of love and memories gone
