Tidbits And Snippets

The Light

The light danced in your eyes, a beacon to guide me. In that moment, you became my centre and I was just revolving around you.

I smiled over at you as you promised me it would all be okay.
You took my hand and told me you loved me, whispering sweet promises of commitment and passion that I was powerless to resist.

But one day, the light was gone and I was left in the darkness alone until dawn. And without that light, I became lost. I fell off my path and landed amongst the shadows who took me and turned me into one of them.

By the time dawn arrived, my love for you was gone, washed away in the tears I cried. I no longer mourned the loss of you or all the little things that you do nor did I feel like some small part of me had died.

I no longer cared at all for another, fixated on my own survival. The next time I saw you, you said I took your breath away. That night, I did just that and you never again saw the light of day.

AN ~ hey guys! You This is hella darker than I intended. It was inspired by a post on Instagram, they set a challenge in the caption, telling people to write a short poem in the comments. I wrote a (shorter) version of this and decided if I extended it, it could be an addition to Tidbits and Snippets, so here we are. I hope you guys are enjoying my work, whichever one you may be reading because writing is the only thing I've ever really wanted to do. Anyway, this is me, signing off.
