Daylight

The darkness doesn't last forever.

The darkness fell upon you,

Making it hard to breathe.

Harder.

Harder.

Harder.

You could barely see.

The light slowly faded,

Disappearing from your face.

Slowly.

Slowly.

Slowly.

Your heart began to race.

You sat and cried alone.

Wondering what to do.

Anger,

Regret

And sadness

They came along too.

Anger told you not to feel;

It's easier that way.

Stop feeling

Stop trying

Stop loving

Keep your emotions at bay

Regret sat beside you

And whispered in your ear.

If only

If only

If only

I'd taken chances all those years.

Sadness made its way

In the crevice of your heart.

Crying

Crying

Sobbing

Tearing your soul apart.

The darkness soon vanished,

Light filling your eyes

Slowly

Slowly

Surely

Transforming into sunrise

Hope came to you

Kneeling by your side

Whispering

Hold on

Hold on

Hold on

The night won't last forever

The sun will kiss your face

Gently

Gently

Gently,

The darkness soon erased.

A perfect piece of poetry! A dynamic display of light overcoming darkness as we patiently wait it's needed arrival.
