Dawn & Dusk

You stole it from me
My first and only love
You took my passion from me
As if you weren’t punishment enough

You took my dream
And crushed it in your hand
All the worlds I had imagined
You brought to a sudden end

Characters I had created
Nurtured and watched grow
You snatched them in the night
And into hidden pits, you would throw

You turned the light off
In my inner art studio
You shredded my manuscripts
You are so sick and cruel

But now this pen
Is back in my hand
Such power I now wield
I can bring about your end

For now, every word
That I am able to write
Feels you with fear
And puts you to flight

You came as a dark cloud
Resting on my mind
Now you are just a speck
In this ever-expanding sky
