The Bright Shadowed Light

My loneliness is casting a shadow,

Not so dark though,

As much as my eyes tell me,

Since the light of you is still stuck back home.

But the flowers still blossom,

They also do wilt and die,

But how did this love escape,

Before us together rose from the bottom?

The birds are chirping,

But can you tell when they cry?

You try to erase memories until you forget,

Once you forget your heart knows your mind lies.

The light is there still,

You have to let it fill you,

But how will you contain love’s brightness,

When the voided heart happens to be in you?
