I wrote this piece in 2018. I apologize for any discomforts readers may have while reading this piece. Please note this is a piece of fiction and should be considered as such.   

Thank you,

CELESTE.  

When I felt down I was alone and  

Then I saw you there.    

We both had blue eyes that are crying tears 

Invisible to everyone else. 

When I look into your eyes  

My pain was alive, reflecting back towards me. 

I wished to say something  

But my anger was too strong  

And I couldn’t stand the look of you. 

Even though we feel the same pain  

We didn’t have the same hurt. 

The reasons for my anger are too insignificant to you. 

We both pass by with invisible shields,  

Guarding us from everyone. 

I smile because when you are alone  

You are the closest to me. 

But when I look up again,  

Your walls are coming down  

And my smile is suddenly gone.  

A smile on your face springing towards that girl.  

The person who can light up your world, 

While I am still in the dark. 

I’m alone in this world 

And no one is there.  

You left me all alone.

An excited loudmouth, Celeste often needs to think before she says anything. As a writer, she can get overwhelmed by the composition of thought and barely writes any of her ideas into articles. A classic procrastinator. Please email any issues to rubinoce@msu.edu. P.S. Celeste is no longer associated with Her Campus at MSU as of November 2022. She hopes to continue contributing articles to the Her Campus Media empire when the occasional opportunity arises.
