The night ended suddenly for me
On came the day to kill my eyes
I wasn't ready for it to happen
But I held on.
I felt like I was on the Titanic
Sliding into a watery grave.
Believe me it wasn't easy
But I trod on.
I live in darkness all alone
I wear dark shades at night.
Who was it that pulled my curtain?
I will find out.
The guns are coming I hear them.
I'll make like a rat like I do.
Take this pen and paper
And I will write on.

Excellent work
Truly lyrical, and conveys the mood very well. "On came the day to kill my eyes" is a nice expression that held me close to the poem, and I simply loved the way it evolved...the last stanza is stunning...loved the twist in the end.
