Let The Sun Shine Poem by David Blake

Over me, the shadow of the love that I
thought would never forsake me. My
eyes red with fear and doubt yet
knowing, refusing to cry. Unimaginable
pain claws at the hole that has formed
in the center of my soul where my heart
used to be. As the sun passes away
into the silent depravity of night, the
cold burns like an unquenchable fire. I
search for a warmer place yet the
darkness like a blanket covers
everything I see. I can’t remember the
last time I felt the sun fall over me
warming the sorrow that now consumes
me. Her eyes are all that now remain
staring down at me filled with malice
and no trace of shame.
