Sunset

The sun is painted across the sky

Red and orange flow to blue and purple

I sit here on my lonely perch

Watching the world go dark

I think of you as I sit here

Your bubbling laugh, your glowing smile

You, who gave my world colour

You, who took that colour away

I wonder how you cannot see

Your smile gives me butterflies

And when I'm the reason for that smile

My heart starts racing inside

Then I found out about her

My world stopped spinning, heart stopped beating

You seemed to dance laughingly before me

Oblivious to my silent scream

Are you alright? Are you OK?

I'm hearing voices all around me

I nod, I smile, I put on a brave face

But I'm dying inside

And now my world is empty

Hearing nothing but my wordless sorrow

Seeing nothing but the tears on my face

Feeling nothing but my soul wrenching itself apart

The sun is painted across the sky

Red and orange flow to blue and purple

I sit here on my lonely perch

Watching the world go dark.

A/N: Been writing poems lately to let my emotions out. I'm not one for talking about my feelings – I usually keep them locked tight away. This is my way of letting them out. Review?
