Sunglasses

He\'s gone.
I put my sunglasses on.
The rims are cold on my skin.
I open my eyes and color disappears.
Every thing turns black.
I try to take the sunglasses off.
They won\'t budge.
I attempt to be strong.
I look for color everywhere.
It\'s nowhere to be found.
Weight is on my shoulders.
I\'m tired but I can\'t sleep.
Tears run down my cheeks.
The sunlight feels like needles.
Rays of light pierce my body.
I can\'t breathe.
I\'m drowning in darkness.
I beg the Lord to rid me of this pain.
Then, I see something yellow.
Next comes blue and red and pink.
I throw the sunglasses off my face.
They shatter on the ground.
I say goodbye to the darkness.
I welcome the brightness.
