A Flash of Life

Love can create many things
and help them grow to the fullest.
Loves’ seed has been sod this spring;
but this spring was to not have growth.
Many discussions surround this
unexpected light in which I 
helped create, giving it life.
This light’s brightness was debated but
never had its chance to shine, 
to light up this world.
Being there but not fully understanding the impact, 
not my decision in the end. 
Being there but not having the 
last minutes of this lights warmth.
Not being there as the lights’
final shine, is dimmed &
my world gets colder. 
Not being there, not knowing
of my light being eclipsed,
but feeling it in my heart & soul,
knowing it has eclipsed a part of me also.

 

 

Holdin’ in how I feel
bcuz I don’t know what to feel .
many emotions run through me
& don’t exit in any way;
stuck in me, not allowing me to forget, 
not allowing my memories to dim.
Why do I not confront this, 
I speak of it, but don’t hear my own words.



Dreams haunt me, not even
nightmares, keeping me awake
during the day & night. The 
dreams are showing me the lights’
pink shine, what would have been 
a bright future, but seeing this
untruthful future; is a nightmare,
knowing that I can’t plug in the light I created,
knowing that my light switch will
never turn on the light I created.
