Was it I?

Was it I?

Who was it turned the lights out
All over England’s land:
The night the moonbeams vanished
And the stars refused to shine?
Who was it stole the brightest
Of all the royal jewels,
And took away forever
The gem we wished to view?

Who was it caused the heartache
And brought the world to grief?
Who covered all the country
With a carpet made of wreaths?
Who was it who united
The people of this Earth;
Regardless of their status
Or their origin of birth?

Who was it bought the papers
And listened to the news?
Who followed up her progress
And watched her every move?
Who threw us into darkness –
Was it you or was it I?
The night we lost our Princess;
Diana, England’s light!

As a survivor of domestic abuse I found writing down my inner thoughts in the form of poetry to be an exellent therapy which aided my recovery greatly. I am fully aware abusive behaviour in a relationship can come from both sides, therefore I apologise that my poems on the subject are aimed solely at the male species. This is mainly due to the fact that they are based on my own personal experiences, and not on life in general. I am pleased to say that once I had purged my system of the bitterness I held towards my perpetrators I could go on to write poetry on various other subjects; which I hope some of you will enjoy reading!
