Took The Sun Away
A chill blowing in on the breeze,
shaking me to the bone.
Stars snuffed out, sky gone black,
clocks stopped ticking,
no turning back.
Night wraps around me
and I can smell it —
rain moving in,
a silent peace
before the storm begins.
I’m not sure I want to go on.
I’m not sure how everything
could go so wrong.
Stumbling blind in the dark,
not a sign of light,
not a single spark.
Living in an eclipse
that chokes every sign of day.
Nothing’s the same
since you took the sun away.
Flowers dying on their stems.
Birds that never wake,
songs condemned.
Drowning in the shadows
of what we had,
wondering if it’s true
that nothing good can last.
New moon offers nothing.
The witching hour mocks.
Colors drained to gray,
waiting for a break
that won’t come.
Sometime, somewhere,
these clouds will break.
A single ray is all it would take
to get my feet back on the ground.
If there’s a god in heaven,
bring back the light.
Nothing’s the same
since you took the sun away.
