The Light

The Light

A Poem by Jen Walters

I sit here and am crying
Because the light has vanished from my eyes

I sometimes wonder why
It hurts to look at the sun in the sky.

I see you in everything I do
I don't have a reason to feel so blue

Yet I am angry,
Because of what's inside me

It boils and grows
because of the seeds you have sown

The light you radiate
Has come down on me like the opening of the flood gates.

I used to be where you are,
From that I have strayed so far.

I don't know how I could have been so wrong
The light has been so long gone.

How is it that you can see,
All the broken pieces that exist inside me

How can you take them all
And rebuild the wall.

I don't know what I would do without your light
I use it as my rock and might
