Orange to Black
December 31, 2014
The sunset used to bring peacefulness,
When I gazed at the orange rays,
My eyelids would go down with the sun
And the sun‘s glint would go right through them
It would mean that even if I were surrounded by darkness,
Light would try to find its way in
And I would feel its warmth
Balancing out the cold
Now,
Sunsets mean the end,
Another idle day has gone by
And I’m still the same,
Plain
Now,
When I find myself basked in light,
While the tangerine incandescence goes down,
And my eyelids do too,
All I see is darkness.
