Emotionless.
What happened to your smile?
It would light up the dark alleys of my mind.
Silent.
What happened to your laughter?
It could conquer all the demons in my heart.
Defeated.
What happened to your strength?
I counted on it to catch me before I fell.

What happened to you?

Now,
darkness has taken over.
I see no shine, no fire burning inside you.
You tied yourself to an anchor
Merciless
and look where it took you,
The bottom.
How is it all the way down there?
Alone.
But you're not alone,
I'm reaching for you
All you have to is take my hand.
Just open your eyes.
Embrace your pulse,
feel your lungs crying for oxygen.
There is still a heart left inside you,
Let me help you find it again.
Let me help you find yourself again.

*You are alive.
