Starless Poem by Bryony Sheldon

Starless

Rating: 5.0


I'd like to say he looked sad,
Or a little guilty, even,
But I knew that in that present moment
He couldn't feel a damn thing.

We were standing under the willow tree,
It wasn't humid, but the air was so hot,
Yet he seemed so cold, so disconnected.
There wasn't a single damn star in the sky
And the moon was hiding in robes of clouds.

When he looked into my pupils
With those glass eyes of his,
He didn't need to say a damn thing,
I knew exactly what was coming,
But he opened his mouth,
His dry voice scraping against my skin:

"I'm sorry…
But the thrill is gone…"

After that, he walked back to his Camaro
And left me behind for the last damn time.

When he looked into my pupils With those glass eyes of his, He didn't need to say a thing, I knew exactly what was coming, But he opened his mouth, His dry voice scraping against my skin: What a kind of imagination dear poetess. Thank u. tony

What's the name of your film? Ah yes, Starless. I read it, saw it, felt it. Terrific way to write and much less expensive than the cinema, too. Chapeau to you, As the French would say, 'Vous avez un talent, fou 'meaning you have very much talent, Mademoiselle! .' Excellent work.
