Reminiscent

Suddenly I remembered the fine night
darkened like aged wine,
I realised
you were gone
for good.
And that your hands 
will never be on my hands again
melting, clutching
and binding.
I remember the wallowing hole inside of my chest,
hollow and bleeding
as I cried and cried 
for hours under the ceiling
Wondering why I wasn't born a superhero,
so I could fly to your sky, 
And watch you as you sleep.
I remember softly, 
as you left me.
And softly,
as I leave you tonight.
And finally I understand, 
why people denied heavens,
for something they loved.
I would also do anything, 
to stop the pain, the endless fights,
that rages like Icarus' scream
beneath the sun.
The one that tears my heart apart these starry nights.
