In these days
I see the growth
Of children in the streets
I feel the love
Of peers around me
I hear the sirens
Of ambulances coming towards the light
I watch the stars
As they fall from the sky
I embrace the warmth
That once was there
I sense the sting
Of the jagged sharp words
I feel the sorrow
Of the words of failure
I taste the hate
That’s hidden deep inside me
I touch the world
That takes me for granted
I kill the life
That once was inside me
“Should I go back?”
This question breaks my mind
To the life
To the love
To the happiness
To the world
As who I used to be
Darkness breaks my fall
As it comforts me
It caresses me
It cares for me
Darkness is my companion
In these days of sorrow
It helps me with all of my problems
It cures all of my phobias
It feeds me with its bleak sight
In these days
All I want
Is my life back
To take what’s rightfully mine
What was given to me
And then taken
By one person who asphyxiates my soul
