I woke to find my sunshine shattered,
Deprived of everything that mattered;
My happiness was a flag tattered,
And I was in the gloom.
The people all around me seemed
Unseeing of my saddened gaze;
Perhaps they thought I still but dreamed
And wandered in my daze.
Now all that once was me
Is changed or ceased to be
That time so long ago
When time went oh so slow.
Don’t let this be the end of everything!
I pray my hopes for later are not lost.
I love this poem. It just flows right through the heart of me. You really touched something special here. One feels the pain in reading this. And yet, don't we all know this pain firsthand anyhow?
