Note: This poem is written in five stanzas, each stanza consisting of four lines. This poem does not really have a set scheme or style. Each of the stanzas are kind of on their own, whereas one may have an ABAC rhyme scheme, the other may have a rhyming couplet. My main concern was telling the story through the metaphor of light and through a little rhyme to help it flow.
A Dimmed Light
Looking back at the life I once lived
I have but one regret,
She was the light of my life
Like a star twinkling in the dark sky.
A light dimmed before its time,
Darkness now clouds my sky.
That light brought joy to life.
She was my love, forever mine.
I should have held her more,
Given her the love she was desperate for.
She always knew she was the one,
The one who simply made my heart run.
I knew we were meant to be,
Sometimes fate doesn’t seem to agree.
She was the flame who filled the room,
Her warmth, I wish I still knew.
She lit up my world like none before.
A glimmer of hope for this lost soul.
I wish I could tell her again
She was my love, she was my soul.
She was my love, she was my soul.
