The Light That Was Lost Poem by Alexandra Matthews

You lost the light you shone that day,

The day the facadé collapsed,

You lost the woman I thought you were,

And I awoke with an almighty slap.



You lost a piece of your heart that day,

The day your world went crack,

And where I expected to find the light,

All I encountered was black.



You lost a part of your family that day,

When you chose to pick a side,

And instead of trying to make things right,

You chose to die inside.



You lost the chance to understand,

And put your heart at ease,

Instead you chose to go to war,

And treat me like a disease.



You broke a piece of my heart that day,

When you forgot the light you preach,

You broke a piece of your heart that day,

When you forgot the light you teach.
