Never

Emi

I never noticed the colors

Before they faded to grey

I never saw the nighttime

Before it turned to day

 

I never noticed beauty

Until it fell to disrepair

I never valued justice

Before nothing was fair

 

I never heard a single sound

Before the birds stopped their song

I never knew what was right

Until everything was wrong

 

I couldn’t think any thoughts

Before I had lost my mind

I never looked for treasure

Until there was nothing to find

 

I never knew how to swim

Before the world turned dry

I never spoke a word

Until I said goodbye

 

I never showed a smile

Before sadness invaded

I never looked for light

Until the world was shaded

 

I never could fall sleep

Until I was wide awake

I never knew what was real

Until everything was fake

 

I never found honesty

Before nothing was true

I never knew loneliness

Before I had met you

 

I never quite felt whole

Before I was torn apart

And I never knew love

Until you broke my heart

    The conclusion is brilliant for many cannot disagree, never realizing how much they cared until they lost it and the hurt etched indelibly stayed. All your comparisons were fascinating to read and ponder. I enjoyed it.
