~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Black sunshine
in my eyes..
Darkness ..
steals the light..
I wonder why..
I am meant to
roam this life..
as if
I am blind..
Imagined light
in my mind..
A distant illumination ..
Of a life
I hope to find..
I try see through
This darkness..
But time after time..
I see
Black shadows of sunshine..
obscures your face..
I can't see yours eyes..
Wonder if you see mine..
Black sunshine
all from me..
Wish I could rid my heart
of this haunting disease..
Black sunshine..
hides your face..
Black sunshine
Black sunshine
Keeps you away..
It is here to
protect me..
It knows
not of
my
hearts decay..
From loneliness filled
with darkened days
It only knows
of protection..
My black sunshine..
My fear..
My hostage..
My prisoner..
My only safe place.

Black sunshine Erica. Your sunshine can be whatever color you want it to be, your world can also. We all make choices for various reasons or another. The most important point is, "to be dam sure you're living where you really want to be." If you're living one place and your heart and soul wants to live in another, troubles on its way! Black sunshine touches me. tk G
