Sunrise

You never know what you have until it's gone.

I watch as the sun dips down into the horizon

As the sky is splashed with slowly darkening colors

I observe as the day turns into twilight

Twilight into night

The stars twinkle softly

But my attention is elsewhere

I turn to face the opposite horizon where the sun will once again rise

I wait for hours

Finally the time comes

But the sun doesn't appear

Even the shine of the stars start to disappear

Leaving only the darkness

Where is the sun?

Why won't it rise?

I stare for hours

But no hint of it is shown

The sky starts to blacken

Leaving me in complete darkness

Where is the sun?

I get up

 I walk towards the horizon

Even though I know that it's impossible

The sun is gone

My light has disappeared for good

There is nothing left for me in this dying world

Still I can't help but hope

Perhaps the sun will come

It has to

But still the darkness deepens

Like a cut through my heart

I stand at the edge of the world

But still

The sun doesn't rise
