crying about Sky
I’m crying and it won’t stop
they keep falling out with unfathomable accuracy
and me being vertical
they drop nicely behind my ears
like the tips of sunglasses
slicing with frigidity while
I stare above at the dying Sky
knowing that no one will
ever see this same Sky
and in any other circumstance
it would make me feel unique
but tonight, all I feel is lonely
with ambient light threatening the
Sky’s ephemeral beauty my
transcendentalist inner self throws
memory after memory on top of me
that seem to scream
insignificant
as though I can’t and will never
do anything to stop the hostile light
from destroying my beloved Sky
and the painful part is
the truth in the thoughts

i love the sky, but sky is also my sister's nickname and I feel that this poem can be interpreted in two different ways – the first being as a soliloquy to the sky above us. the other: the sky is a metaphor for Sky, the beautiful girl, who is fading away and the speaker can't bear to watch it happen.
