Gone

A new day came But the sun no longer rose The sky remained dark It seems as though time just froze The breeze that once blew warm now blows with an achy cold Birds no longer sing What once felt knew now feel’s old It felt like this was the end of everything Stars no longer hung high in the sky What once brought joy now felt tainted and diseased? Life that was once in abundance now seemed to grow black and die Any hope for a reversal of these events had been seized Would everyday from this day forward be like this? What brought this on? Would the wicked snakes ever stop their hiss? He awoke this day and realized she was gone
