I'm watching,
waiting,
anticipating,
contemplating my memory,
is this a nightmare I keep reliving?
or a gift of thought  I keep receiving,
deceiving,
isn't it?
For when the clock turns round,
and falls to the ground,
breaks,
no sound?
Does this mean the events were never meant to be?
since when has twilight lasted forever?
a twisted fate, a false reality,
The eternal eerie feeling
brutally pushing back the happy warm embrace of the sun.
this is true fright amongst fears,
so tragic, it drives you to tears.
but wait,
because there is a sunny day,
where the warm rays make you feel like the
earth was made for you and only you,
but why?
why would you question if that day would ever come,
or if the earth was round,
or why at night the moon shyly shows it's face,
only to start hiding again in the morning.
You know that if all the comets in the universe
had a hurtful name written on it,
they would all be pointed at you,
and the impact would cause fireworks, and sparks
for other people to smile and laugh at,
but after the show is done,
the heat has cooled,
and the rubble settled,
there is nothing left but ashes,
burt so badly by the heat of the moment
that you can never see the shine or glow it once had,
this is an event you can never recover from,
cant fix, and cant rebuild,
so all you can do is scoop up the pain,
the emotion,
and memories,
and put them all down on the field,
in a pile of sorrow,
and lay down next to them,
and keep them company,
until you decide to blow them away,
get up,
and start again,
to start a story on a clean slate,
until you look up,
only finding yourself to still be waiting in twilight
for the golden day to arrive,
But what you don't know,
is that this day will never come if you sit and wait for it,
hard work and perseverance,
those are the only things that will release the joyous feelings,
because the sun's power is inside of you,
and all along you have been the key to your own happiness,
but when you decide to break the lock,
and conquer twilight,
is up to you.
