Pebbles and Mountains

By Anonymity

12th grade

my skin burns out for you, bringing me warmth but then tearing it away

fluttering in the void, the vacuum around us, but no one knows we’re there

not questioning it, alone, like a pebble on a mountain

but what is the void if not us

i can still see you there, feel you there

but my eyes betray me; you aren’t there; and I wonder, how did it come to this?

far away and invisible, like a pebble in a mountain

and when i dream, i wonder, do you dream for me too?

you said you’d be back, but nobody could tell

and I’m not ready for you, big and brilliant

shining, overpowering me, like a pebble to a mountain

i have to believe you’ll be back one day

ill die if i don’t but i don’t want to see you

or maybe its the responsibility of ever knowing you

being shoveled back into my place like a pebble with a mountain

its over now, there’s not much left, and without you, life has lost its fun

that’s why I wrote this poem to you, you’re the sun
