Eclipsing light

Dark star

Your shadows eclipsed my heart

While dread weighted me down

In a heavy place of disbelief

From where I watched my present self

Bid goodbye

To any chance of love

Now there is only a haunting echo

That I hear

Resounding across the empty distance

That separates you and I

And I don’t know how I will ever find

The wings again to fly

Towards that place of light

All I sense are the heavy shadows of night

Tying me down

And a pile of ash

That the fire vacated

After the embers of hope burnt out

How is it that I lost my way

So completely

And allowed seeds of doubt

To take root inside my mind

Extinguishing hope

Eclipsing light
