You Took Away My Sad Sunsets

You Took Away My Sad Sunsets by Ray Smallshaw

I was so sad as a part of my life where I had shared joy and love had past,

Ahead of me all I could see was what I had left behind and I wanted it back,

Life very rarely gives you back what you have lost as bridges collapse and no return is possible,

Like a fool I waited for you and you never came so I was left in darkness and pain,

Then bleak years clouded me and dawn did not appear only sad sunrises and the following dark sunsets,

I was smothered by my lost love and I died waiting for a rebirth that did not come,

A chance wedding and the honeymoon of our child now grown that did not have sad sunsets,

Held in a faraway place I had last trod in my youth and it was there I found my new sunrise and my sad sunsets disappeared,

You shattered my darkness, took away my bleakness and allowed me to breath again,

Now everyday my life has a new sunrise and my sunsets are filled with the joy of the Love I share with you,

As You have taken away my sad sunsets.
