How I Resented the Sun

Where my heart once lived
A hollow chest,
with solely,
rotten meat I'm left.

Father sun,
It wont be long
But for some, I beg

                                                                   Don't eye me yet

                                                                   Black holed sun, please hold on

                                                                   Let me weep with all the sorrow that i own.


---------------------

The sun's shining brightly outside

seemingly contending

What reason there could be,

for me to be so somber

If things were just fine.


My dad had died,

before I arrived

And so I'd missed the last day

his last night

When he was still of life.

I could not react

except thinking it happened,

Before I could say goodbye

Or we could've locked our eyes

for one last time.

It was at night,

when I arrived

I couldn't breathe

I just cried, cried, cried

into the after hours,

Disappearing ink of tears under my eyes.

I wanted it to last forever-

I didn't want to wake up.

But I did. And next thing I knew

The sun rose in the sky.

And anger swelled up

within every fiber of my being

It felt as if

I were to explode

At any given moment

Because how dared the sun

show its face

above the hills,

and come near my being.

When my heart was ripped out,

just one night before?

Invisible string by invisible string

A surgery of violence took place

Of which I did not know

that the universe

was capable of performing such horrid thing

On my frail body

It ripped me apart, yet

I had no physical evidence

No physical scars

Where I could show anyone

What had happened to me.

An eternal feeling

A part of me,

that will always hurt

It will forever be there

And so long

I will grieve

Like the weeping willow

tree.
