Staring at the sun

Your beauty shines so brightly from within

It's hard for me to look at you

It's like staring at the sun

Everyone I meet feels like a distraction

Your flaws, your scars

Just makes me want to hold you more

My heart aches, my breath labored

I push on every day

But my mind is plagued, I have not healed

How I wish I can let go of this painting

This picture I made of you

But this picture, this picture is now a part of me too

Every bit of light you shine on me

Feels so good, yet never enough

Knowing that the sunshine will get taken away

With every morning, I hope that the pain is gone

I try to run away, be with the pain

I have respite, but the tides renew every day

You never stop loving someone

You just learn to live

Without that person in your life

I want to learn to live without your light

See you as "just" another star

And enjoy the stars in my life again
