WHEN THE LIGHT FORGOT ME

 

they took not a second glance 

didn’t wait for the judgment to balance 

the scale tilted, a jealous shift 

hatred bursting in with a fast swift

hopes and dreams whisks away in perjury 

testified against me for penury 

minutes and hours left in hopelessness 

none showed kindness 

dawn refused to cast his vote 

sunrise fumes how much she loathe 

if hope is gone, where is tomorrow? 

so sad, no overmorrow 

 

they all forgot my existence 

just because help took her stance 

if air had played ball with them

my lifeless self would be tangled on a hem

everything followed suit when light forgot me 

now I eat ashes for a meal 

days numbered, no light in my soul 

vision blurred, dark like coal
