Darkness Falls

He always looked at things so clear
straight down the line
somethings never change he thought
but these words he would soon swallow
for all he had fought

Hands over his eyes
tears ripping through his skin
darkness filled his mind
leaving him blind

In every corner of the room
nothing made sense
vision blurred
eyesight in a whirl

Shadows of the past
knocked on his door
voices filled his lonely mind
suddenly a voice came from behind

A familiar voice
he turned around
her gentle touch
her looks did astound

Taken her hand
standing up in his pain
her arms around him
he would never feel the same again

As darkness shifted
and the sun shone brightly in to the room
all that lay in the mist
was the sweet smell of her perfume
