~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 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 touches me. tk G
