Losing Love

The golden days of happiness

faded into the era of night

Laughs and smiles faded into

Sobs and grimaces

The uncontainable joy dissipated

into a consuming sorrow

Despairing and controlling

it fed upon me

Leaving me raw

Time seemed incomprehensible

It slowed and quickened

Until I quieted the sobs and manipulated the despair

I found a bright a light in the darkest of evening

Found joy in the mysterious beauty of despair

Slowly, but surely, I started to become…ok

Yes. I lost my first. My only love

But in return found it was ok

The moon became the sun

The stars became my lovers

The wind brought back my laughter

The clouds brought back my smile

And when the pain of losing love finally faded away

A new world came into view
