Star-Crossed


You were

the summer rain,

the moon in the night sky

the brightest star that I could see...

and I,

the darkness of a cloudy night

I knew we wouldn’t be.

'Twas you who left

not me.

Attempting my first Cinquain. I thought I'd written one before, but if I had, I never labeled it. There are several styles. This is a nine line Cinquain with a syllabic count as follows: 2,4,6,8,2,8,6,4,2.
