As the Sun Descends

All of the vivid colors turn dull

As the sun descends

For you never turn on the light

Soon the television

Will be all that illuminates the room

Everything cloaked in black

With occasional splotches of dim hues

Corrupted by flashes of Hollywood

But you've always lived in a fantasy world

Where the guy that beats you

Is handsome and dashing

And you're still beautiful

With no wounds to show

I hope that you can find

The glow you once possessed

The million giddy thoughts

That used to light your eyes

For these outside sources

Fail to make you see
