Losing Light

Upon my heart a glimmer light
fades to a shade of gray
Inside my soul a slumber comes
to still the break of day.

Against the yearning of my heart
I stand beneath the moon
To send a wish up to the stars
that you will come back soon.

Inside are broken promises
a shatter to the mind
As distant shadows creep inside
the corpse you left behind.

An empty shell of what I had
now haunts my memory
Among the shimmer of regret
that stays my sanity.

A darkened mist now cloaks the moon
the stars once shone so bright
Has left the heart an opened wound
that's slowly losing light.
