No Stars Tonight

As black as my heart,
When you don’t speak to me,
Cut me off from you,
as though severing at those tendons which hold me to you
with the bluntest blade

How I long to be in your arms, safe and warm,
looking up into your eyes,
There I can see in their green depths
a love as overwhelming
as the beauty of sunset
on a calm sea.

The sand curls beneath my toes,
Getting colder now,
The sun has set,
The night is as black as my heart,
There are no stars tonight.
