who stole the happiness from you?

i want to drag him out into the blistering heat of the sun
let him dry like a prune, suffer, then die
it's not hate that i feel for him
it will be a merciful death

where did all the glow in  your eyes fly?

they use to warm the summer sky

your smile feeds the ocean
freshens up the fish
feeds, nourishes the child

i should have met you
before he did
then i could have taken cared of you
if it's love that you want
if it's care that you desire
if it's loyalty that you seek
i will give them all
and more
but you don't have to love me back
(i have more than enough
for the two of us)
just a smile
will do

i long for that very first moment
my eyes have ever laid on your face

it shines, it brightens, it makes
the leap from dread to bliss
so easy
i thought it will
a lifetime last
but nothing does
everything must surrender
to darkness
at six

still
i will wait
in silence
my heart grieves
how long will i stay in the shadow?
i don't mind really

i can stand
unfed
lie down
unnoticed
cold
distant
but filled
with the memory
of the very first time
that the sun
from your face
has melted all the
sadness in me
