a gust of wind blows,
with it takes away
the light from my candle.
suddenly, i’m thrown into
an abyss of darkness that exists
in my mind during day,
and it feels darker
than most nights.
slowly, thoughts creep into
my mind,
like the wind making my body shiver.
i wrap myself in warmer rugs,
but these thoughts seem endless—
some concerning this futile life,
and the remorse that follows like a shadow.
but, unable to make out in this darkness,
feels like my life is like a candle,
but with no fire on the top.
the future’s getting darker,
as these thoughts flow seamlessly,
the sound of silence is deafening.
currently, just remorse and regret
flows through my mind,
reminding me of all the lost time.
and i fell into this abyss of darkness—
still falling,
without a ray of sunshine.
