A Light That Left

My soul knows that it is broken. 

A piece of the light it once knew is gone.

Will someone else find the light my soul once knew?

This light gave my soul an ember to hold and it clutched it tight.

This light then blew a new life into the ember my soul held making it a flame.

It was a flame that burned red and roared with fury.

That is, until the light slowly started leaving

and the flame started dying,

until it was once again an ember that my soul could not bare to let go,

but the light had to take it away, leaving my soul nothing.

My soul knows that it is broken.

I like the message held within your poem sad poignant about a broken soul you have to seek the light again and you shall find it bit by tiny bit it will return and light again. Heartfelt and so sincere.

This broken soul needs to be rearranged again...well, some might say leave it on time....but I'd say try to do by yourself at first....The light that left...you may can't forget but you can surely makeup your broken soul again in the hope of finding another brightest light...and do learn to keep that in you for forever!!
Tis saddening but a good writing shared....Almighty's grace be upon you☺

When we are broke. Hard to be repair.
"but the light had to take it away, leaving my soul nothing.
