Regress now light of morning---back to darkness…

That I may find what lost I in a dream;

Resemblance bore she---that of which I prayed for…

With hopes of love I’ll once again redeem.

In pureness set my heart to seek and find her…

In vision set my mind to wander free;

A captured glimpse has vexed my very soul now…

And restless sleep invades my equanimity.

What saddened joke was played to end this vision…

Not hesitating for a second look;

Its radiance illuminated every parcel of my mind…

Without regard for anything it took.

Regress now morning back into the darkness…

For there is where my heart---did find the light;

Who needs you now to conjure up new hope…

When all I lost was never even right.

I thought my life was filled with all I’d hoped for…

But nothing could prepare me for this twist;

The game of love was played without commitment…

So hindsight now I only…reminisce.

What words I gave to make her grasp my heart so…

And squeeze the light of life from deep within;

Then give to me a hollowed shell of darkness…

From here is where my story did begin.

Regress now light---back to my heart of darkness…

For what I’ve seen cannot be what life is;

A glimpse of happiness only for a moment…

Unfair the light to steal what I now miss.
