Everything I Wrote for You Miles Rowe

"You were every star in my skies, Moonbeams streaming through my windows, The soft aweOf the sky slowly bursting into color. When you left, You wrapped the clouds around your neckLike a silk scarf. You tucked the stars into your pockets, Pulled the curtains on these windowsAnd blackened the moon. You leftThe way the sun sets--Bits and pieces fading away slowlyUntil the dark of the nightWas all that remained of you."Everything I Wrote For You is a collection of poems written by Denver-based poet Miles Rowe about the realities and tragedies that come with heartbreak. He illuminates on the honest parts of getting over with someone--the lovesick, the hurt, the acceptance. The poems set up the journey through getting over somebody once they left and, hopefully, finding the growth and beauty in being alone.
