When the Sun Used to Rise
When the sun used to rise
instead of the lights turning on way above;
there were no lies.
There was love.
When there was love
we were happy;
the laughter in my ears still ring
with joy.
Only
there is no joy. There is just a sting
of the heart.
The reminder is painful
but I would rather remember joyful
times; than forget and not know love.
Even though my love has died
I will always remember
that he never lied.
The tingly sensation in the pit
of his stomach also lit
mine.
We felt the same;
when the sun used to rise.

I wrote this piece about a year ago. The poem started out with a different direction but it took a life of its own when I kept on writing and I am very proud of it!
