When darkness falls

When darkness falls
You had a dream so bad ,so sad
And the mornings sun never rose
So The darkness was all  the light you had

Ashes to ashes & dust to dust
He watches as his parents are laid to rest
Not understanding no explanations
Just unrelenting second guessing


A little boy with eyes so blue
Now stands in his empty room
Blackness bleeds from all around
Now his future falls like autumn leaves to the ground

when darkness falls
You had know one to hold ,even if their hands were cold
No glue or adhesive to put back the pieces
Just by yourself   on an empty road

At seven yrs old  now 44 yrs ago
The clock stands still  & reflections of what could have been
A photograph is all that’s left  its black and white but covered in red


A little boy  with eyes so blue
Now stands in his empty room
Blackness bleeds from all around
Now his future falls like autumn leaves to the ground

When darkness falls
You  had my grandmother to make all the wrong right
Illuminating love  that still warms my heart
The old lady who saved  this little boys life...ja3
