A poem I wrote a week or two ago. I wrote it taking inspiration from experience and songs.
I miss the light of the dawn,
The feel of dew,
The fresh smell of morn’ that was once us.
You let me live, helped me see the light,
Now that you’ve gone, there is nothing left.
You left me alone in the dark,
You tore my heartstrings out,
And you left my mind battered and broken.

I’m left alone in the dark.

My mind can’t take much more; you haunt my every moment,
You live in my dreams; no longer are you real to me.

I’m left alone in the dark.

I’ve tried to forget, but you’re still here.
How did you pass my every defense?
How did you get so far?
How did you make me feel so much?
This pain is killing me, rotting from the inside out.
I’ve been made numb, by the pain left inside.
I live day-to-day as a shell, no longer able to feel.
My soul cries to the moon, begging to be relieved of its burden.
Time can’t heal all wounds.

I’m left alone in the dark.

At the cost of my innocence, did I face my demons,
And come out the victor.
I’m alone, now that you’ve left,
And the world has betrayed me.
I stand alone,
No longer able to lean upon others.
Time didn’t heal me,
Struggle didn’t kill me.
I’m scarred,
Forever forced to remember you.
You were my weakness,
You got through where others didn’t.
You left and I nearly broke,
But inside I fought back.
No longer do you fester inside me.

I’m left alone in the dark.

You brought my every fear to life when you left,
I nearly drowned in the tears I cried,
Because the day you left, I died.
I was forced to crawl,
I was forced to beg,
I fought every demon inside,
left alone in the dark.
I’ve blocked it out now,
You’re naught but a thought.
To my feelings,
I’ll never again bow.
Everything I believe in is gone,
Only I remain.

I’m left alone in the dark.
