Light


 

I saw the light and it was bright, but not as bright as our first night. The stars shined boldly and cut the dark and filled my soul and warmed my heart. But, when you left I cried all day and tried my best to make you stay, despite how much I begged, you left and took with you my final breath. My body lives, but I do not. You broke my heart on that spot. Soon the heart that beat a tragic tone found its heartbeat calm and slow, my body faded as did my heart until my body fell apart. My lifeless body then joined my soul and I was put in a six foot hole. When I died I saw the light and for the last time the light was bright.

I'm a Grad student now studying Biochemistry and Biophysics (not sure how I got there). I guess I've been using this site for nearly 8 years now though sometimes I went years without writing much of anything. I write what I feel and I write what I need to let go of. Sometimes I write about a dream or a nightmare I had, If I can tell the difference. I fell in love for poetry in high school and continued to write in college. I hope to publish a book someday as well (leave a comment if a poem speaks to you). P.S. My Instagram is @CottonCandyPoems
