so what happens when
you've reached
the edge, when there's
nowhere else to turn to
do you just sit, a captive audience
as the memories
unfold before your
soulless eyes?
do you cringe,
as you realize your loss?
do you falter
lost for words
devoid of emotion?
do you carry on
knowing a part of you
is staying behind?
the most precious piece of you
what you would've given
the world if only
you can keep her,
if only
she wanted to
remain with you,
do you grieve
knowing that you
could never get her back
whatever you do, no matter
how many wishes, how many
tries
you can never have her
she is lost
she doesn't wanna be found again

you stare in silence
as darkness engulfs you
embraces you, seeps in
darkness is your ally now
it allows you to hide
its fingers hold on to you
keeps you tightly reined
the first embers of dawn
slowly spreads
but you will never get
a glimpse of its lovely skies
there will be no warmth
no mirth, no more quiet smiles

the sun is rising
but mine already hid
behind dark clouds
their rays will never reach me now
will never touch me now
i'm staying nestled
in shadow's cold bosom
darkness is my friend. . .
