We used to watch the sunsets.
There was nothing we loved more,
A luscious burst of colour
Filled with hope and joyous awe.
Yet now I stand alone here,
And all I feel is grief
You shattered our horizon
Caused pain beyond belief.
Where once I saw pure beauty,
Beyond that setting sun.
Now I'm just reminded
Of all that you have done.
I run away. Build up my walls
In search of some respite
Yet constantly I'm haunted
By that quality of light.
It burns my eyes and pains my soul
To think of you somewhere
Gazing with some other at that
Unforgiving glare.
Where once the setting sun was a sign of love to me.
Now I only see an ending.
A cold finality.
