Poems From The Dark Minded

Sunlight

It's been so long,

Since I last heard the birds' morning song

All I ever see is darkness in my sight,

It's been so long since I last felt the sunlight

I was forced to hide,

Just before I was to become a bride

It's so cold,

The air smells very old

The only light I ever see,

Is when I need to feed

Sometimes I hear the thumping of footsteps from above,

Oh, how I wish I could fly away like a dove

To feel the warmth of day,

To have the freedom of say

To stretch my wings and live happily ever after,

But I'm stuck here living in this disaster

My faith is fading fast,

There's no telling how much longer I'll last

My body continues to grow weak,

Flying further out of my grasp is the freedom I seek

I lay there day after day, helpless

Some days I'm left utterly breathless

Silently, I cry and cry,

All I can do in that cellar is stay there and lie [down],

I hold the one thing he gave me before he perished,

A necklace that he very much cherished

My eyes begin to close,

My sight is further coated by shadows

Maybe when I wake up, I'll no longer be on the run,

Maybe when I wake up, I'll finally feel the sun
