Dark like Midnight

I remember a time when we once were happy.
When no battle couldn't be conquered.
When the skies were blue instead of grey.
When the warmth of each other's love was enough to keep us alive during the winter's cold.
I remember faintly when there was nothing but excitement, fun, laughter, awe, and good times.
I miss those days.
Those memories feel faint and far away.
I remember a time much different than today.
Now the clouds are here and the sky is dark like midnight black.
The sun fails to shine despite its labored efforts.
Now I'm living in a perpetual bad dream--dreary, ugly and hopeless.
When once I ran through a field of blooming poppys and chirping hummingbirds…
I now tread through decay, muddy waters and acid rain--burning my skin with each deadly shower.
How long will I be stuck in this prison?
