Just Weep

by Ice Star

The Sky Falls Apart

Every night—
the sky falls apart
Every day—
the world starts
to fray
How will you comfort her
now that they have gone away?

Yet—
every time you reach out
a single forehoof to
gently touch
your only companion
it is your hoof that
needs to be
held—
your eyes that duck
from the sight of distant galaxies
and your smile
that is for another
not hers
