Mar 2014
Life woke up.

All was nothingness.
Then light sets in.
The absence of darkness
Makes it weep.

Life started to grow.

Controlled by strangers.
Sharing the love they had.
Then they leave.
The absence of them.
Makes it weep.

Life grew longer.

Books, notes, lectures.
Leeching time away.
Then failure comes.
The absence of success.
Makes it weep.

Life adapted.

Friends pushing forward.
Supporting, never leaving.
Then life repeated itself.
The absence of company.
Makes it weep.

Life moved on.

Strangers come and go.
Proud, happy, loving.
Then the truth is revealed.
The absence of trust.
Makes it weep.

Life learned.

The day came to an end.
Loneliness prevailed.
Then life slept again.
The absence of light.
Makes it smile.
Re-released because I accidentally deleted it
