Good reasons to miss someone (thing)

i thought if i kept you awake long enough

   the morning wouldn't come to steal you from me.

but, alas, the stars closed your eyelids and

   your breath became heavy.

i watched you a while before falling also.

the cruel shriek of the alarm clock and

   the burning blades of sunshine

   cut through my heart
 

   just like your plane ticket.

i watched you go

     and i am bound in chains and can't
 

        follow
