Gone
In a glimpse of darkness it can all slip away .
So perfectly knit,
And so well- written.
A flawless sculpture, a masterpiece in itself.
So beautifully orchestrated, and remarkably simple.
Yet
So deep and complex in a way that perplexed, even the best of them.
Its intricacies reach far beyond from what the eye can see.
So much of your thought, work, sweat and sweet time,
Gone.
All gone, slashed away in a blink of an eye.
Without notice,
My life, now gone. Snatched away
Drapes over my eyes as it's tucked away.
So unfair, how could he/she/them
how could you leave me alone in a desert
So lonely, and cold and moist from my tears.
I’ve accomplished, shattered and renamed all my fears.
All I ever thought about, dreamed about, and wished for,
Seems so irrelevant, undesirable, and disgusting.
Yet all I already had, and never knew,
Seems so much more important and somehow renewed.
As if all of my life I looked for a new, to replace my old
And while I was out a thief in my own house found gold.
I long, I crave, what in longer have.
Why couldn’t it be me---also
Why couldn’t I go---also
you never told me about this-- I hate you.
Its not fair how was I supposed to know?
It came. It came. It came alone.
Ever so quiet and slow.
But did it make its presence be known
Like an unexpected, and random night of snow
And in the morning the earth. White glows
Yes, smooth, sleek as it creeped, but a secret impossible to keep.
My eyes now open to reveal a world,
That evil presides as peace resides.
My eyes now open to reveal the new,
As The old reality slips into vanity.
Now I can truly see,
It seems as if my blind eyes were cleaned, healed by holy water.
But holy water was not what touched my life,
Or else I wouldn’t be here crying and dying inside.
Our lives we waste and lose as we sleep and snooze,
Wake up. I said wake up to reality!
I lost what I had,
I lost my last chance,
We lose our lives.
Thinking were diving to find hidden treasures,
Truly were drowning and all for some pleasures?
I see now for I have hit the bottom of the ocean and the only treasure is up were I jumped from.
Take what you got and live.
And be happy.
Or else it too will be taken and lost and forgotten
