When you left

You too the stars with you

And now it's a starless sky

And I'm wondering where 

 You put them and

Why you even had to take them 

In the first place

 

When you Left

You took the rain

And now I can never rest

Knowing my heart will soon dry and crack

And I struggle with how you could 

Pack up and leave without a word

 

When you left

You cut slivers of the moon

And tucked them away

And as I search the sky

All I see is the scar of our love

That was caused by a girl

With a star behind her ear

And the rain in her head

And the moon on her shoulder
