Sunrise/Sunset

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-
