I am brought to the ground
Your Capricorn stellium
Reminding me of all the ways I miss you
The Earth is home
And it still feels like you
A connection yet there
Will soon be gone forever
Old growth once known
Towering over my soul
Crashing into oblivion
The sound heard but by me
Echoing and reverberating throughout
My rib cage
Holding my heart
Still beating for you
I can’t imagine looking up
To see the hole in the sky
The giant void created by you
Where you once stood
In my forest
Through the new opening
Light can shine in
But all it holds right now
Is space for the rain
To pour in
Like a faucet
Drenching me
In all that we will never
And weren’t supposed to be
So I walk away
My feet held by the mossy floor
Cushioning the blow
Of the emptiness inside
I wander through the forest
Held by the other trees
Whispering me
To carry on
Butterflies fluttering across my path
Showing me the way
And reminding me
I am held
And I am not alone
However alone I feel
In this forest
And the old growth of you
I have lost
Forever
