Pantoum:  Gone

The light that shone is dead

It was bright for years

Now, the dark has shed,

The first layer finally nears

 

It was bright for years

The shine has left

The first layer finally nears

A stolen object, a heartless theft

 

The shine has left

Along with my soul

A stolen object, a heartless theft

All that lies inside is an endless hole

 

Within it has bore

The light that shone is dead

The same thing I fought for

Now, the dark has shed
