poem

Yellow light

That bright yellow light
hanging in the blank ink
darkness of the top of
the atmosphere
floating through the cold
universe
warming the cold endless
black sky
with yellow warmth

it just went out

now it's still, silent
just as it was before
but hidden behind the
bright yellow light
it seemed warmer
no time even for twilight
to ease into blackness
just dark

the stars aren't even bright
enough to be seen
in a sea of ink

You took this away
my bright light
now I can't have you
and I don't have anyone

it's your fault
you turned off the light

with no more yellow
glow hanging in the sky
nothing for me to look up at
to warm my cold skin
in the darkness of a universe

You pulled it from the sky
leaving me and the world dark
with nothing to replace it
