Darkness overshadows
good memories of time,
covers with blackness
all that looked fine,
ends all the laghter
I once knew was mine,
strangles the air
like a neck by a vine.
Where went the light
I once held so dear?
to light up sweet dreams
and chase away fear?
to show me the laughter
I've forgot how to hear?
to block out the darkness
and make it all clear?
Give me back the torch
that turned night into day,
hand me the shield
which kept pain at bay,
show the me sunlight
where I can bath in the ray,
let loose the laughter
that has gone away.
