Into the Black

Into the Black
I bolt upward,

Thrown from the dream,

Where I see your smiling eyes.

I sit there,

In the repressing dark,

Of the room we used to share.

I stare off,

Into the black,

And my thoughts carry me back.

Back to a time,

Back when I held your face in my hands,

Back to a time when we smiled,

Laughed,

Cried,

And planned for the future.

This is my future,

This dark room,

Alone with the dreams of what used to be.
