The Archer

You loved me once
Once upon a summer’s eve
With stars in your hair
And moonlight in your eyes

You looked at me as if
Each glance filled you
Up a little bit more
Each time our eyes met

You were sensitive
And sweet and your
Smile lit up the black
Space in my heart

Each day we whispered
Each night we met
Each time I felt pulled into you
Like a candlefly  toward brightness

You loved me, yes,
And I loved you
Too deep for words
Too much for silence

As I watched September
Fall into autumn
You went away
You pierced my heart

Without even saying good-bye
