Gone Again Poem by Melissa Mary

Gone Again



The stars are hiding again.
It's the second night in a row.
They used to be my only friends-
The only ones that know.

For they have watched me every night
and they have stuck with me through the worst.
Any time I had something to tell
they would always know of it first.

The stars were there with me that night-
Though I don't remember looking.
I know because they helped me through...
They understood what they were seeing.

And ever since that turning point
I've looked up at my dear constellations.
I have asked them habitually for their advice
and their pictures have given me conclusions.

Now the sky is black again
just as I have always preferred it.
But without my friends peering down at me...
The night feels like a death threat.

It feels like no on cares anymore...
But I am still here suffering.
With no one out here watching me
I just stand here screaming! No one knows I'm screaming.
