Love Poem: Where Did the Sun Go

Where Did the Sun Go

I woke up this morning
to find no sun up in the sky 
So I jumped out of my bed 
in hopes to find out why
 
I checked my local channels 
but much to my surprise 
turns out I’m the only one 
with a sun that did not rise 

I went outside bewildered 
finding neither moon nor any stars
Everything was missing 
even Jupiter and Mars 

I couldn’t find my phone 
and didn’t know what to do 
so I went to see my friends
but they were missing too

I ran to the corner
to buy some liquor at the store 
but the sign in the window said
“We ain’t here no more!”

I went to get my car 
but it’d been towed away
And I couldn’t take a taxi 
cause I had no way to pay 

My wallet had come up missing 
with my cards and all my cash 
My refrigerator’s empty 
and my toaster’s in the trash 

She told me she’d take it all 
if she walked out of that door 
But I never thought for a moment 
she’d pull the tile up from the floor!
