The road is narrow, <br />the pavement cracked. <br />I'm still enamored <br />with it's mosaic of grey <br />and black, it's perfect dullness, <br />as I was in childhood. <br />It seems as though <br />my whole world has turned <br />into a dull grey and black mosaic. <br />Isn't this the same world <br />that glowed with warmth <br />and inner radiance <br />only months ago? <br />Where has it gone? <br />Where has it gone? <br />It's all vanished <br />with the sun. <br />I gave the sun away. <br />A dull melody plays <br />in a loop in my head, <br />a broken euphony, <br />only half a song. <br />It's sad, hopeless, dull, <br />but only when you listen to it. <br />The word 'God' is in my head. <br />like white letters on black cloth. <br />God. <br />I know this word, <br />but I can not comprehend it. <br />Isn't this the one <br />who swallowed the sun? <br />Law. <br />like white letters on black cloth. <br />Law. <br />God. <br />The world is lukewarm, <br />with broken, muttering melody. <br />I sit in the alley, <br />and lay my head in my hands. <br />The sun is gone. <br /> <br />25 June 2oo8 <br />About two months after leaving Kyle over religious differences.<br /><br />Rebekah Gamble<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-gave-away-the-sun/
