Day & Night 2


you were my day and night

you were balanced

everything was as nature intended

but your nights got longer

the days ended sooner

you started suffocating me into your dark dimension

you blanketed me in your pain

you froze me with fear 

assuring me the sun would rise soon

the warmth of the day would soon return

i would find safety in the sunny sky

and as even more time passed my world went black

you let the sunshine go

the balance of day and night had shifted

your days grow shorter, darker

poisoned by your angst 

and with more moonlight than sunshine

i am afraid

though I love you 

you cannot be mine
