there was a time when i
couldn't catch my breath whenever i
thought about you , (crippled lungs and-
boy, you hit me like an asteroid,
there's a crater on my chest now that I can't ever seem to fill,
even with
oceans of my tears cried on
nights when you couldn't be there to sing me to sleep.
thirty two poemless days after you joined the constellations,
i walked out into the yard and howled to the empty sky,
and
for a moment i was Gaea, rivers running down my cheeks,
weighted to the ground and
buried in myself, but
where there is no light there are no shadows, and
sometimes, i wonder if i miss me.
yes, yes i do.

Perfection.
When you look into the mirror, at your reflection...
That's it.
That's you.
That is perfection.
Literature
you stole
you are smoke,
blackened feathers,
and I forget
how the mockingbird
used to sing.
please,
I forget
how to miss someone.
you left warm spots in me,
familiar dents and puckers
now empty.
nothing holds my eyes in place.
they roll from one end of my skull
to the other,
rattling.
I don't want to see
a world without you in it.
you let this place hollow out
and dry like infinite droughts.
you
let me
burn.
the years age me,
and I don't know who I am
anymore.
I only remember you,
but I forget that you are gone.
Literature
We see different stars
We see different stars
While yours shine throughout
the darkness of your night,
light the way into your sky,
and hold your wishes til
they finally come true,
mine reflect in the murky filth
from which they can be seen
acting as disgusting mirrors
into a world which cannot be mine
and only remind me
that my home is on the ground.

I found this poem a few years ago, and I literally come back to it every time I feel upset. I really love this poem! It was one of the first poems I had read on the internet, and it convinced me that I should look for more! (Sorry if all of that sounded sappy, I just feel like I should thank you because this poem helped me put words to my feelings when I was going through a hard time.)
And now that I actually have a deviantart account, I hope I can actually follow you and find some other gems as well! Thank you so much!
WOW I feel like I fell off the sappy tree, my bad...
