Lights out

When the lights go out over the town

darkness shrouds in blackened clouds

feels like the only way is down

sometimes the brightest lights fizzle out

like shooting stars in the atmosphere

but you still watch the skies

hoping they will reappear

The streets become ghost towns

the world a wasteland, barely a sound

loneliness the only shadow that follows around

feels like the only way is down

sometimes the blinding light

is just a flash, a lightning strike

never to hit again

but you still await the stormy rain

The stars turn off, one by one

the moon long gone

it's easy to forget that the sun once shone

feels like the only way is down

sometimes the dazzling glow is just a show

like fireworks sent to amaze

entertain and take your gaze

but you still watch every light burst

with eyes that appraise

Disillusioned by mental confusion

the illumination was a mere illusion

to illustrate a mental state

as the lights flicked off

inside my head, left in the dark

feels like the only way is down

and sometimes there is no light to be found

but still you search all around

Thanks For Reading.

Peace & Love.

Kyle.
