Stolen Sunshine

The end of a relationship

As i lay down waiting for the next hour to strike

the fear surrounded me like dark cloud cover surrounds a mountain top

No part of my features were visible any longer

An obscure blob encased in the dark mist

My compass no longer working

True north was lost

no direction seemed right

everything was in question

The sundial doesn't work with this kind of sinister sky

Right seemed left

Up and down even seemed to be in doubt

But no, not really

I know right from wrong

and what he did was wrong

Several thing were very wrong

He stole my sunshine

my light, my love

He made the beautiful dirty

Soiled it like yesterday's socks work in the mud and muck

of a walk taken with a secret lover

This storm will rage for some time to come.

Tears fall like rain

Rage claps like thunder over all the things he has done 

and things he has failed to do

He has failed to follow through on promises made

Promises to have and to hold, love, cherish and honor

He promised in sickness and in health

but he said he left in part because I was sick

Now I am heartsick too.

He didn't want to take care of me

Well no I don't have to take care of him

He promised he would wait for me to get healthier

Yet another lie

a set up to fail me

Why did he promise these things when he knew he wanted to go away?

he just needed one excuse and when she showed up he was gone

He still says she is not the reason

Then why was he making love and promises until her?

Why then was he making the commitment?

Was he confused or just a liar and a thief?
