To My Love

by Greg Luegering   Apr 10, 2007


Why do you do this to me? I'm left alone in my dark room once again. I stare at where the light used to come from. It isn't coming back...

I saw you and you were my light for the time. But now I don't see you anymore. You left me in the dust to be alone again. I etch your name in the dust beside me, but that doesn't make you appear there. You don't understand, I can't fight in the dark. I don't know how safe you left me.

If I step to the left, I might lean against a wall, sturdy and trustful to guide me out, but what if it's a pit of spikes, or a hole never-ending? I don't feel safe here. I have no choice but to sit here and watch my light fade and walk away with no care. I can't sit because what if I'm not as safe as I imagined. Now I'm standing on a peg above black nothingness. I'm getting weak standing here without you...

Forget it, I have to take a step. Now that you're gone, you don't have to watch me fall. Farewell my own true love, farewell.
