Sunshine

S-U-N-S-H-I-N-E. A word used to describe the energy emitted by the chaotic fireball above our heads.

You once told me that you would love me

if the sun did not shine.

Well here it is, sun is gone,

and it refuses to shine.

My mountain defenses have crumbled

all the way to the ground.

All the way into the sea

making a melodic sound.

You once inspired me to do great things

And now that my sun doesn't shine

I have my doubts about our trip

across the great continent until we die.

Through the language of song

You told me I was the one

And through the phone

we were done. 

And so here I sit, sunless in the dark.

Echoing words of times past

I know you're gone

But that doesn't mean you've disappeared.

Nice poem all around-- the stand out lines for me are "I have my doubts about our trip/ Across the great continent until we die". This phrase says so much. I can see two people so happy together planning for a trip for the future of a lifetime-- but.. nooo "I have my doubts" sounds more like it's just not going to happen. So sad. Like I said all around nice poem but that stood out for me the most. Honest write-- well done.
