My Lost Light

I'm screaming,
shouting your name 
at this empty room
where all of those nights were shared.

I could never tell if the lights were off,
because with you here
it shined 
and filled the room
with a light
that that shined so bright
i couldn't believe it.

I lost it now. 
and i can't see anything
I'm surrounded by darkness.
My heart is black,
splattered with blue.
the color of numbness 
fits me perfectly.

Through the dark,
i see a speck
of your familar light.
But dead inside, 
i realize i can never reach it again.
