Thief of the Universe what is your name why do you not walk the night clothed in black that I may stay near the light and avoid you appear in all your ugliness in the light of day that I may beware of you known of your coming hide who and what I love tuck them away out of your wretched grasp you reach so deeply into my heart like a friend or lover I feel I must know you well but cannot see your face I know you by the searing pain you leave behind an empty space quickly turning cold wind whistling through like winter in the north where spring takes so long to come though I despise you you leave me lonely you take part of me with you sucking out the breath turning to dust it ceases to exist a fragmented self but breathing and alive waits alone for spring and its promises.
Reason for writing:
The reason I wrote this poem was basically for self therapy - after one too many losses. I submitted it so that someone else could be inspired to get out their rage and to allow hope to surface.
