"The Starry Night"
Everything in my life use to be out of control.
Nothing was alright, and I knew this.
No one could break my walls down.
I was satisfied with this.
My messed up life felt like a curse.
One I could never break.
Experiencing a painful break up is part of it.
That one break up gone horrible led to the promise.
The promise was simple.
I would never fall in love again.
It only lead to misery, betrayal, pain.
I don't believe love really exists anymore, because of him.
I became content with the idea.
The idea of love not existing.
I became content with the loneliness brought on by not letting myself love.
I would never let myself forget that day.
One starry night changed it all.
I played on a blanket on top of my apartment building.
The night was clear of clouds.
The stars shined brightly.
I recognized all the constellations.
Sagittarius, Taurus, Aries, Andromeda, and so many more.
Looking at them was comforting, my mind cleared of all the bad thoughts.
My eyes felt heavy, I drifted off to sleep.
A noise startled me.
I opened my eyes, and scanned my surroundings.
I saw a man walking towards me.
Panic started to set inside of me.
Quickly, I packed all my belongings.
I tired to be quiet but the man still noticed me.
Before I could reach the door, he called out to me.
I turned around to see him, my heart skipped a beat.
