Dark

I was in the dark
and the ashes from my light gave me sight
In the low glow I saw your face
I was in a dream and sure, there you had to be
It was not reality
It was not anything I could keep
and just like that
all I could think of was you
right then before my sleep
before my slumber
before my life
asking questions of why and when will the pain cease
I hated to think of things getting this way
but now its happened
and I am left with only one question,
what cures a heartache?
