City

by Jess - Cancer

Winter skies loom dark as sun follows
Day into the blanket of night

I am the child left staring 
At sprawling city night skies,
The orange glow a halo of nothing 

And he? 
Well - 
He’s with his new friend now, 
With the pretty blue eyes

But I have eyes too
I too, two eyes. 
Too wise to cry once more over you
Wicked man. 

If you plucked me from the roots of which I was made, 
If you took me from the roost we had made, 
Then no more.
Roots they grow again, the roost is there
In my mother’s 
Room. 

Reason for writing:

    Being dumped in London - the lonliest feeling ever, even if you aren't in love
