Love Poem: Trickster

Trickster

Missing him..
I filled my time with other things,
But nothing helped keep him off my mind. 

The Night:
Filled with two false poetic promises left me disappointed. 

In these two years I have lost all “friends” I thought had loved me. 
Instead, 
They abandoned me, and left me to my own devices.

But the new discovery of joy found in honing a craft,
Granted me the sight of true love. 
Even if he didn’t love me back..

And yet, 
It wasn’t fair.

The Night displayed a Full Moon shamelessly,
Much like the night I left home. 

It was a sky full of nothing but stars falling over stars. 

Instead of fleeing, 
	On this Night, 
		I went to howl at the Moon but what came out-was his name. 
Morbidly followed by not even a whisper of an answer. 

Even though I knew it was hopeless, i still hung up my mirror to almost see the shriek I prayed still hung in the air. 

It was a deep dark voice
-dare I say his voice?

I have always known it.
Even when a hundred years has passed us both by. 

Would I ever hear it again?
I sadly still wonder..
