Poem

His darkness erased the enthusiasm
From my spirit, the vitality
From my colors – hues of lethargy
Began to bleed through the vibrant
Wishes, the dreams that colored me
In laughter, sunshine and rain – sprinkling
My light in a melancholic doubt,
Washed out feelings and listless, weary
Fear began to create a rhythm of 
Shame and regret, discouraging even
My most potent feelings, dreams
That felt like the sun’s rays covering me
With inspiration and faith – became gray
Then black as death

He screamed at the hope in me,
Destroying every desire, watering down
The fire so I felt like the pieces of me
That had felt – were beyond feeling,
Illusions, a past joy that I deemed not quite real,
Almost like a dream that I’d woke from,
Knowing that I’d never have the ability 
To go back there – where the joy
Had felt like the brisk morning air, fulfilling
Even the laughter with a brilliance
So wise and aware of the lively, energetic
Elation that comes to those who know
There is a light stronger than the sun
A love far brighter than the stars and moon

His darkness gripped my mind, my life
In a way that felt so convincing
I couldn’t see past the sound of his fury
I couldn’t even pronounce the word for it
Was there a word for it?
The bitterness stung my very soul
The resentment tore away each hope
The rage destroyed every confidence
I became a person I didn’t know

In the shadow of his night, I couldn’t find my way
Out of the dark – where I felt trapped
In a cage of rage, captive of the endless fighting…

When divorce was the only reply to the night
I finally could see past the dread, the darkness
Into the light, where I could ultimately see hope begin
To rise from the ashes – bringing me back to life again
