My Sun

You were my sun Shooting your rays across my universe Giving your warmth to my world My everything surrounded by your light Then your light tarted to dim The edges of my universe grew cold Until the light and warmth shone down Focusing solely on me I basked in it, letting it consume me I didn’t notice the skies darkening Or the coldness encroaching me I was too bedazzled by my sun Until one day you burnt out …then disappeared completely I looked all around my universe Searching for your light to guide me The darkness and cold burned me Taking warmth from my radiating skin I put what I could deep inside me Before it would all be taken away I was left cold and pale With marks where your rays kissed my skin Left blind without my light I couldn’t see the beauty of my world One day my sight began to return My world fading back into focus A warmth within me burned Fueling my body with life Letting my skin radiate again Everything as it should be But not quite as it once was There was a sun in the sky But it wasn’t my sun It gave light to my world But now everything cast shadows I went through the world Seeing it was no longer mine Still beautiful but with no paradise Darkness along with the light So I take the warmth from within The last from my sun I tucked away And I let it burn through me And have it guide me everyday
