The Sun Was Different... Today Poem by Star lynn

The sun is different today, as if it rose with something in its eyes not bright and loud like yesterday, but softer, as if it tries to understand the way I feel when everything feels out of place, when even silence starts to speak in corners I can't quite erase.

I stepped out and let it drop over my face, my heavy mind, and suddenly I forgot the things I'm trying not to find.

Love won't remain so light, it learns to hurt, it learns to ache.
It sits in your chest at night and keeps you awake. I think I've been pretending strong, like nothing cuts beneath my skin, but there are days when the smallest thought feels like it's pulling everything in.
And I cried today Not loud, Not seen Just tears I couldn't stop Like something inside me Broke again In ways I never told The sun was still shining,
it always does, but it felt far away somehow, like watching from a place I cannot reach right now.
Sometimes I think of you Not as a wound, but as a flame Kind, that doesn't leave you whole But teaches you your name.
Maybe love is this weird thing. It lifts you up.
It lets you fall. Somehow, through the pain, it teaches you to feel at all.
