I whisper
'leave me alone'

I tell them
'please stop'

I walk away
but they follow

I run
but they catch up

I plead,
'I have nothing'

nothing
to lose

laid out in perfect detail.
life is sobering.

and you will be happy,"

hide from the monsters.
plan your next moves.
keep warm and rest.

for daylight will bring hope.
a new chance to find meaning
and experience happiness.

and butterflies in my stomach
a kiss, my eyes closed

cover me in darkness
and feed my despair.

numbs my wretched life
and amplifies the longing.

lead me away
to beautiful places
and unfulfilled dreams.

you are the gateway
for my soul.
