Black Hole of Solitude

She is my rising sun, every day she greets me
                  She is my setting sun, at twilight she meets me
                My world turns around when I see her smiling face
             I gravitate towards the warmth, of her loving embrace

        Her pull is strong, I can't resist, it's like some magnetic force
       Drawing me in ever so closely, we let our love take it's course.

      She is my moon, she gives me light, in the stillness of the night
  When the mood changes, she's always there, to help me turn the tide.

               Now she's gone...my sun won't rise for me anymore
                 My world turns upside down, not round and round
                   There's nothing left but dark and empty spaces
                     No more light or warmth, left only the traces

                      Now begins my journey into endless gloom
                            There's no escaping for me now
                                 The black hole of solitude.

this is really good. The format also makes it look so put together! This reminds me of oblivion at the end. I hope it was for the oblivion contest!! It should have been.

Sorry my mistake is for another contest, my oblivion poem is from victor to victim, take a look please, maybe I should make a switch, I value your opinion. Thanks Andrea
