Once, she was the Sun
And oh how she shone
Her golden hair fell in rays
Effortlessly framing her face
Contrasting the tan skin
Of her shoulders and back
Her eyes were so bright
They could blind you
If you stared for too long
Their light too pure
The warmth of her laugh
Was a gift to the world
It could make frost melt
And flowers grow
Her light sparkled and gleamed
Only growing stronger
As her world grew darker
Seemingly endless was her light
But the night had his ways
His darkness encompassing
He seeped into her cracks
Seeking her flaws and her shames
And before she knew it
She was no longer the sun
Just an empty, dim shell
With no power to tell her story
But once, she was the Sun
And oh how she shone
