  • When did you leave me?

    When did you leave me?

    TheĀ  clouds were saturated,
    And so were my eyes
    But you didn’t let me alone to cry
    The path was filled with thorns
    but yet you walked through it for me
    and held my tsunami of acid on your bare hands
    The bruises on your bare hands reminded me of my mere reason for existence
    Now I don’t know why I’m breathing
    Are you there?

    You would say I’m always going to be there for you
    But you don’t understand it
    You need to be there with me
    I know what you have been through because of me
    I’m one of your worsts.

    You don’t see it.
    I’m still alive without you.
    But am I really alive?
    And at times this liveliness feels like choking myself to death.

    No I don’t want you back.
    Once gone, returns no old.
    But I want to know.
    When did you leave?
    I was waiting there under the flickering lights over the graveyard of my hope.
    And I didn’t find your arms around me anymore.
