Without you

thewayiwrite

 

And the nights grew colder

And the moon stayed longer

 

And sun stopped rising

And the rivers dried

 

But the oceans grew and the saltwater spat at the children on the shore

 

And the lions stopped roaring

And the elephants lowered their trunks

 

And the world stopped turning and the stars didn’t shine

 

And your heart didn’t beat in time

And the aching of mine couldn’t rhyme

With the slow hum of the hummingbird

outside the window
