meteor.
Posted April 21, 2008
here is something i wrote a while ago. tell me what you think. in case you haven't noticed, i use metaphors when i'm not sure how to say stuff. and if you're wondering, this one's about a boy.
a girl sat in her endless field
and she was content enough.
ther, night was the only time of day,
and she existed under a forever moonless sky.
although she was without a moon
and without a true source of light,
she could still see her stars.
they were dim and small,
but still important enough.
points of radiance and reason in her vast sky.
and for that, she appreciated them.
her stars are what she lived for.
then one day, a meteor came
and shot across her dark sky.
she lost interest in her stars.
the meteor's bright light
set fire to her dark field.
and at once her world was beautiful.
but like all meteors, it continued to fall,
and she watched as its light slowly faded.
soon it fell over the horizon,
leaving her in darkness once more.
she thought of gazing up toward her stars for help
but she knew they would not be able
to replace her billiant meteor.
it would not be possible for them
to fill the hole that had been torn inside her.
she was unprepard for yet another letdown,
bt hope was all she had left.
when she glanced up at her once magnificent sky,
she realized that the disappearing light of the meteor
had not only left her world black,
but had also left her blinded.
and now she can't even see her stars.
