as black as night.
I walked in shame.
But in my life,
glowing brightly,
you just came.
I knew that nothing,
could ever really,
be the same.
On the day you met me.
You took my hand
and pulled me up,
you dried my eye.
We gently kissed,
I wet your lips,
which once were dry.
We loved for hours
underneath
the open sky.
On the day you took me.
We bought a house,
a couple’s nest.
You made it ours.
You bought it light.
You filled the rooms
with smells of flowers.
You painted it,
while I just worked,
for hours and hours.
On the day you made me.
My hours grew long,
saving money
for a family.
I did not know
you were getting sad.
I did not see.
I showed neglect,
you didn’t realise,
that wasn’t me
On the day you hated me.
So now I sit,
an empty shell.
There’s no more cheer.
I sit and cry,
with none to see,
the lonely tear.
Through my neglect,
I have made,
nobody here.
On the day you left me
One day soon.
I’ll love again,
my heart will mend.
I’ll be a better
lover then
and more a friend.
And I will never,
until I die,
neglect again
On the day I find me.
