When the light disappeared

When the light disappeared

From behind your eyes

There was no longer the chance

To bask in your sunrise

I had to watch as winter fell

While storms of life

Stole from us

The presence of the one

Who reflected life

But there was still between us

The touch of skin

And the comfort of togetherness

Found there

Even in those moments

Of deepest sadness

As we realised that very soon

You would be slipping

So very far away from here
