When the lights went out (Elegy poem)

All at once, the lights went out 

Nothing made sense anymore 

The lights were so bright at first 

Now there is only darkness if only the LED lights could replace the old ones 

I keep trying to turn the lights back on, flicker, flicker, flicker

 but nothing works 

The old lights just, I just want them back 

I try to persevere without the lights

Why is everything so hard

I Can’t function. Where is everything

Where did everyone go

I try to let the light into the room 

But it is too dim to make a difference now

Maybe it’ll grow brighter later

But for now, I’m stuck in the dark.
