Gone Is The Light Poem by Wilfred Mellers

Gone Is The Light

Every day I wake in my lonely bed.
How I wish that I was dead.
No more left to be said.
A great burden I carry on my head.
All I do is question why.
No longer pointing my head to the sky.
No more wind is in my sail.
Nothing more I can fail.

I have lost my only friend.
In love, I fall never again.
It is sad but yet so true.
Nothing left for me to do.
Into the night I'll fade away.
For me, there's just no more day.
All that is left is the night.
Gone tomorrow the sunlight.

Darkness surrounds everywhere.
Dark are my skies since she's not here.
His back is turned, no longer, can I sleep.
For my soul, no one will keep.
As winter's chill cometh the dawn.
I lost all my senses since she's gone.
The darkness cries out my name.
Hard I find to live down the shame.

No longer can I conceal my sorrow.
Why must there be a tomorrow?
No more comes a brighter day.
It just won't seem to go away.
This is a first for me, to be alone.
I've never been on my own.
Gone are the days of my happiness.
All that is left is pure sadness.

No one left to kiss and caress.
No longer do I have someone I want to impress.
The darkness I now embrace.
For I have fallen on my face.
No more to rise it's the end.
For I've lost my best friend.
That voice I no longer hear.
For she's no longer here.
