The one who once smiled.
Now no longer, only frowns. Asking
me why he can't be.

Deep down in the cave.
On the walls displayed
was a message engraved.
Of the people betrayed.
Many were enslaved.
Looks of dismay.
They needed a way.
To see a world that wasn't so gray.

I'm laughing at myself.
The pain I was dealt.
From the board, the rod and the belt.
The time I spent in the dark.
Cast away far apart.
In my mind blurred.
Many times unheard.
The hours I wasted.
The ways I debated.
The words I couldn't convey.
The days that washed away.
Knowing there's no I'm okay.
I'm waiting every day.
Just to say.
Maybe today.

When the rain stopped, she cried.

Left without even saying goodbye.

Have to let go, one day.
