Dead Stars

[heyerruh]

I sit here
     silently trying to focus,
my lesson, forgotten,
     sounding like echoes of
a happier time.

I sit here and
     suddenly I remember
how you smell
     and how it scares me.

I sit here
     and remember the times
that you'd sit near me.
     Things were clear then
and I had you there.

I sit here
     and I smile the smile
that you used to be able
     to get me to show
while remembering the
     truth that you're not there anymore.

I sit here
     and I think that maybe
our 15 seconds of fame are up
     and we are now stars
that have lost their shine.

Our friendship,
     now made up of
dead stars.
