Another Poem

DARKNESS

I longed to see the light
I wanted to feel alive again
I longed for that embrace
That would take this pain away

Life's all gray for me
Nothing but the ash of yesterday
I'm drifting
Lost and alone in the darkness

I longed to see again
The smile of that face
The face who took my smile away
The face who took my life away

I longed to feel again
The warmth of the morning sun
The cold water of the rain
But I feel nothing because of him

In the darkness
I still search
Hoping I find my way out
And back into his good graces

I longed for him
He who took my smile away
He who took my life away
He who is my smile and my life

I am alone
Lost in the darkness
Never to find light again
Never to see the sun again
