My light

Shes my light
my whole daytime sky
her brightness over ruling all

my town was cold was dark and lonely
full of sorrow and regret
love being just a random selection of letters
just a forgotten word

pavements cracked beneath me
leading to a even darker place
leading down a road i know nothing of
a one way street to emptiness

mustering the strength to raise my head
seeing lamppost all around leading into the distance
all flickering false light
flickering a superficial hope

boarded buildings surround me
shutting out all my opportunities
these boards restrict my movement they stop me seeing some light
these buildings carry on they line my street
they line my town
bringing pain with even doubt in me

broken glass like shattered dreams still glistening in dim moonlight
yet totally destroyed
each piece reminiscent of a time of love long forgotten

i catch a glimpse ahead
my face remembering to smile
for my world is brightening up
and as i take a look back at my oh so dark town
I'm reminded how lucky i am
to be close to sunrise
to my light
