I OWN EVERY SUNSET IN THE WORLD
by Jennifer C. Gutierrez
 
 

I own every sunset in this world
As I dream of seeing the sea waves hit the sand
And plan my solo trips on vast lands
 
I own every sunset in this world
As I see lovers wake up and watch sunrise together
And hear them whisper sweet nothings to each other
 
I own every sunset in this world
As I hear every little child’s sigh on a playtime being over
And watch other woman’s longing for his man coming over
 
I own every sunset in this world
As I realize loneliness unfolds every sunrise
And as I try to smile with sorrows in disguise
 
I own every sunset in this world
As I move forward solitary
And create experiments in my mind
For trying to love someone out there that wasn’t mine...
