Luke Devlon

The stars don't shine, and my heart does not sing to the song I once knew. The city doesn't make me fall in love, as it once did. My body cries in agony, and all I can do is cry. I cry for the lost ones, I cry for a new beginning. I cry for my mom. Not a single whimper in return.

How could everyone be so peaceful? How could everyone be so blind? My own brother could not see.

I keep going over to the world I once knew. Where I could be free, and not afraid. Where my brother would be with me, protecting me. I don't know who he is anymore. There is no harder feeling than that. The feeling of the unknown. This is what I fear the most.

Perhaps one day, my dad will come home and say he is happy to see me. One day we will sit at the dinner table, and we will eat as a family.

Not that I know what that is.This is what haunts me the most, even though, at this point I shouldn't be surprised.

I can see in the mirror is something I dread, but I know a day will come where we will rise, and never bow again.
