The Planet Who Has Lost Its Sun

by Antigone Jackson   Apr 23, 2010


I walk around with this cloud,
of failure over my head
and all it does is shower me with calamity.
Why is everything so hopeless?
Of all the billions of people in this world,
all I ever see is you.

What did I ever see in you?
I was floating like a cloud
When I gazed into your eyes, I saw the world,
but your words buzzed like hornets in my head,
their sting left me hopeless
and in a terrible calamity.

Are your days filled with calamity?
Full of mourning, or did you
ever even give a shit? I just sit here alone and hopeless
like a single cumulus cloud
in the sky, a lonely world
in the dark universe of my head.

At night I rest this echoing head,
and try to think of anything but this infectious calamity,
I fail miserably, and think of you.
I am a planet, a world
who has lost it's sun, an overshadowed cloud,
simply hopeless

Can everything really be this hopeless?
With every violent storm cloud,
comes a rainbow in the end, diminishing the calamity.
all I have to do is forget you.
A difficult concept for this head
of mine, like forgetting the whole world.

It would be an empty world,
although not as hopeless
joy was once brought to this pessimistic head
and it was all because of you.
So how can I blame you for this calamity?
When you were also the sun beaming through the rain cloud.

It's time for you, to leave my head
I can't stand to live in this world, that you've left hopeless
I don't need the calamity, I don't need this monstrous cloud.
