dismantle the sun

they covered you up with six feet of dirt,

but nothing i know will undo this hurt.

my tears flow -- an uncontrollable sluice --

as i am gripped by grief that won't let loose.

 

i have no need for time, no need for space,

no need for movement, and no need for pace;

i have no need for needs, no need for wants;

a life without you is a life that haunts.

 

the sun has been dismantled, and for good,

for only darkness stands where light once stood.

the stars have been put out, the moonlight too;

my world has no light, for my light was you.

 

but darkness becomes the thief of all thieves --

stealing red from roses and green from leaves;

taking blue from oceans, and blue from skies;

leaving only broken hearts and blind eyes.
