Yoru



The tall buildings
Solemn light emitting from the windows
Revealing a distant presence
The dark sky
A quite park
And a large footpath
The bushes and trees
Far to the side
Instead
Lining the path
Tall lamps
Each with a single light
Glowing gently
And the wind blows
Her soft blonde hair
Across her face
She shivers
Shouldn’t have worn
A skirt, she thinks
She looks around
To see no one
It’s so dark
And then a coat
Is placed on her shoulders
Fancy seeing
You here again
A warm, yet lonely voice says
She turns around
Looking down at her
Deep brown eyes
Meet her deep blue
Then she clenches his chest
And pulls herself towards him
The full moon beams in the night sky
The wind brushes their clothes gently
You know you
Didn’t have to come
He says
But I’m glad
You did
The lights
Lining the path
Flicker softly
They walk along
Every second is a melody
She is
Holding onto him
Looking up
And smiling
His dark clothes
And hair
Like the night
They stop
We should go
It’s late
He says
One of the lamps
Flickers off and on
She pushes herself onto him
Clinging on
Like he's the only thing she's got
Droplets
Falling to the ground
But it’s been so short
She argues
It's too short
Why does it have to be this way?
She says through tears
Why can't we
Just be together?
Every day
I think of you
But only one day
I see you
For half an hour
I am in heaven
Then I have to wait
A whole week longer
She looks up
He turns away
Her face is a mess
Her blue eyes are an ocean
He watches
The wind blowing through
The dark trees
Leaves falling
To rest on the ground
He turns
Please...
Her top
Is drenched
He walks
Please...
She bites her lip
Blood can't reassure
Her
He keeps walking
She holds his coat
Tightly against her body
He keeps walking
Into the distance
The night sky
Seems so lonesome
