 Poet 11586

I used to see the light, now all I see is darkness

I used to see the sunsets in bright fluorescent colours
Now it has faded grey; a blurred picture in a broken frame.
The stars used to be a collection of hopes and dreams
Now they're nothing but a collection of dreadful memoranda.
My hopes of coming home were filled with the glorious rays of sun
Now its nothing but stormclouds brewing inside my mind.
Your arms were like my protection
Now I'm once again exposed to these harsh thoughts.
You were my everything, even if it was for a short time
Now you are gone and I'm left feeling numb.
I used to feel like I was invincible, untouchable
Now I'm a wandering, forgotten soul that means nothing to everyone.
I used to see a light at the end of the tunnel
Now all I see is the darkness as it consumes our once happy memories.
