Fractured 2

Warning: this is not mine; I found on a game called Fractured 2

I asked you once if the sun loved the other stars;
you looked at me and shook your head.
"He doesn't have time for such things," you said
nodding, I turned back to the horizon.

The sun hung low in the blushing sky;
it's still a star and all stars die.
I shuddered at the thought, random as it was.

Darkness came and crickets chirped;
There was the familiar scuff of boots on dirt;
I turned to find that you had gone.
The moon and fog are better company;
though just as silent, I know what they expect of me.

Winter is a long and lonely season;
Spring comes as a sweet surprise;
Autumn is summer's swift demise.
Though, I do not understand the point;
you barely fit twenty_four hours in a day.
Why set my heart to a seasonal delay?

Home was soon an afterthought.
I counted the stars like missed chances
and listened intently for sacred wind dances.
I paused momentarily to curse the sun
too stubborn to pause and love someone.
At the end, we were no different.
