Sunrise-Sunset-

You were my every sunrise-
You were my every sunset-
You were my eternal happiness-
You were my eternal regret-
You were my everlasting joy-
You were my everlasting tears-
You were my only hope for security-
You were the only thing I feared-
You were the blood that barreled through my body-
The blood that barreled through my heart-
You were the cold steel against my temple-
You were my light in the dark-
You were my reason for living-
My reason for death-
You were my reason for exhaling-
My single last breath-
You were my first thought in the morning-
And the last thing I thought at night-
You were the song in the wind-
You were my reason for life-
You consumed my mind with demons-
Ate my soul away with hell-
Showed me heaven under covers-
But you kept me trapped in a cell-
You hit my heart with the panic-
Let me in all your thoughts-
Kept my soul with your ***-
Kept my mind at a loss-
I let stupidity realm-
While the Devil he walked-
Dreaming of escaping-
When karmas been sought-
Alone in my room-
With my heart in the dark-
