There once was a time,
when I was whole.
Sold my heart for a dime,
leaving a black hole.
Someone stop time,
she's fleeing too fast.
What was my crime?
In darkness I am lost.
Staring at the end of a rope,
lost in my sorrow.
Only bright light is that hope,
for a better tomorrow.
Lost in darkness without my heart
but I will still go on.
Into the night I depart,
still in this marathon.
I will leave you with a quip,
as dawn breaks the dark night.
Oh captain guide your ship!
Guide it to that bright light.
when I was whole.
Sold my heart for a dime,
leaving a black hole.
Someone stop time,
she's fleeing too fast.
What was my crime?
In darkness I am lost.
Staring at the end of a rope,
lost in my sorrow.
Only bright light is that hope,
for a better tomorrow.
Lost in darkness without my heart
but I will still go on.
Into the night I depart,
still in this marathon.
I will leave you with a quip,
as dawn breaks the dark night.
Oh captain guide your ship!
Guide it to that bright light.
This poem is about surviving a broken heart. The first part focuses on the immediate aftermath of a heartbreak, where one feels like he/she has a lost a part of themselves. The feeling that everyone around them is moving on too fast and they are stuck in darkness. The second part focuses on the will to go on in the face of heartbreak. This is usually a long process(marathon), there is a promise of light at the end of it but the only person who can make this journey is you because you are the captain of your life.
