Please Don't Take My Sunshine Away

The Shadows kidnapped my Sunshine.

Night emerged.

Endless night, no hope in sight.

The moon rises.

Distant and beloved Moon.

The only communication between hearts plundered into darkness.

.

Souls bound by love,

Unconditionally.

Torn ruthlessly apart by a corrupt agency,

Unconstitutionally.

Endlessly fighting to reunite,

To return the sun’s radiant warmth to the world.

.

Tirelessly trying.

We’re so tired of crying.

Battling demons masquerading as angels,

False saviors with hearts of stone.

They’re riddled with spite.

Oh, Shadows, how you’ve sought to extinguish every last ray.

Ceaseless in your endeavors.

Vile as your methods,

Torturously twisting truths,

As you seek to sever our connection.

.

Corruption and collusion are your staples.

Resilience and love are ours.

Justice shall soon be knocking.

Karma’s clock has been patiently tick-tocking.

. . .
