Light
Written by TakaraThe ambling thoughts of a girl who can't sleep... provoked by stumbling upon the website of my first love. Maybe now that's out of my system I can sleep?! Who knows!
Light
You were once the light that surrounded me
But yours was so bright that you blinded me
My life was yours
Following you
Doing whatever I could to please you
Your light surrounded us both
We were happy
Together
Then you left
With barely a word from you
I was plunged into darkness
There was no light around me
For I had never learnt to make my own
I could barely see
Takes time to adjust to such a difference
I lost my way
I lost you
I stumbled through the dark for so long
Hitting walls I thought I could never go around
Fighting the demons in the darkness
Blinded by a light I could no longer even see
Time passed
Slowly I began to notice a faint glow around me
There was no visible source
No one else had come into my life to cause it
There was only me
Years passed
The light was now enough for me to see my way
The walls could be seen preemptively
Strategies planned and thought out
Situations were not always overwhelming
My light grew stronger
Tonight I caught a glimpse of your life
For the first time in years I saw your light
I compared it to my own
And now it doesn't seem so bright
You wounded me in ways untold
By blinding me and then leaving me lost and alone
It took time, but I fought back
I regained my life, my soul
Now I am stronger
