You

by Kenya Hayes

 

Without you

My night sky is

Moonless

Dark

Frightening

You’re my counselor

When I have problems

You understand

You listen

You fix it

You’re generous

Like an ordinary person

Donating to a baby foundation

You’re like a desperate dad

That loves his baby girl

And wants to see her everyday

Because he divorced

Her mother

You’re my only friend

That likes me for me

I can tell you all of my darkest

Secrets

You’re like a boy who is willing

To do anything to be with

That girl again.
