Dear Esther,

We had fallen in.

Plummeting into oblivion,
With obscured vision...

You've already reached the ground.

Yet I'm still down here,
On my own,
My world enclosed in utter darkness,
Wondering when I would reach my fate.
Soon...I hope.

I'm sick of spending my days,
In a somewhat confined cage

If only I could just see the light once again
If only there was a way in climbing out of this ditch;
This incomprehensible pain.

It's as if the entire universe has turned its back on me,
Not even willing to listen to my hapless pleas

Oh, how I wish a rare shooting star could just pass by,
Lighting up the midnight skies,
Bringing me joy,
Like the one I used to experience then.

Nevertheless,
That remains a fantasy,
While reality mocks at me sadistically,
And till now,
I'm still
