My Light Gone Poem by Paul Sebastian

Words like sharp arrows
Bull-eyed the core of my being
Wounding deeply
Bleeding profusely
Through countless nights
Sleepless haunting nights
None for solace or comfort
The scourging pain and hurt
Kindness became irrelevant
Caring, almost forgotten
Trampled by your anger
Pushed out to the corner
There I whimpered
Bruised by whipping of words
I withered like a trampled rose
Your silence were like thorns
Punished, yet contented to sleep on
Crumpled on the floor, in silence
In my silence I bitterly cried
Your candle light is blown out
Darkness has set in to devour
I am so lost and broken



I bitterly regret
I incriminate myself
I hate myself
For hurting you
Deep scathing pain I suffer
To end my life here, I prefer
Been through some depression
Another, waiting for invitation
Due to emotional suffocation
In my utter confusion
I couldn't contain
Nor could I hide it within
I was real, I poured out my hurts
For I was lost, broken, searching
Reasons why you were fading
I was losing my very love and life
I struggled quietly, to move on
I have lost, you have won
I had you there to hold on
But now, you have left
And you have gone
Banished to be all alone
My hope and dream vanquished
Your candle light extinguished
Alone, in darkness, I have to plod on

Thank you my dearest friend
You made my life so different
Through one year of distance
Our lives had meaningful substance
I will not forget the love you gave
I have precious memories saved
You will always be in my heart
In my life a treasured part
I pray you'll always do well
Happiness for you and family swell
With God's blessings
I love you, take care, girl!
