I painted my stupid moods and walked away. In a distant alley, I could hear laughter. Something that ran away from me when the Eau De Gráffîtî came. I had not smiled in a while. I forgot how it feels to be happy.

That familiar laughter rang in my ears again. It was Sketchy Summer. I knew she was with Freddie. They are always together. Laughing at the lonely man who sits on the sidewalk.

But the lonely man seems like he doesn't care. He is always silent and frowning bitterly. His dusty specs preventing him from seeing our world. This messed up world. I'd like to be in his shoes and walk a mile through the pain.

Pain is the only real thing now. No laughter. No happiness. Pain.

Speaking of pain, I remember him. I can feel his touch now. It is not soft. It is electrifying. It is uneasy. It doesn't feel alright. I know he's not alright. He's in pain. I know it.

A metallic clank startled me and I looked towards it direction. It was just a trash can lid that had slid off. An emaciated cat was scratching at the dingy bins and ran away once we made eye contact.

Just like him. We made eye contact when he ran away and left me alone. I can't hear any laughter. I don't see the lonely man who sits on the sidewalk. Then I realise that I'm all alone.

I'm under a dark sky with silhouetted clouds and a star. The star looks virgin. I make a wish. I make a promise, then I let go. What if it is him? What if I'm possibly wishing for him to come back when he was shining up there.

I reach for the stars. I stretch out my arm even though I can't reach the skies. I feel his soft touch. I remember him through nightmares and dreams.

But I still carry on. He's gone. We'll never ever cross paths. Screw Karma. It never did us any good.

I'm all alone under a dark sky with silhouetted clouds. That's the best description of my life.

I arrived home safely and threw myself on the lumpy couch. It was uncomfortable but I really didn't care. Then something happened.

A bright light came from the blues. It was unusually bright and piercing. Had someone killed me? I brought up my hand to shade my face but that wasn't helping at all. It wasn't human nature for light to shine this bright.

My head began spinning as my eyes were scorching due to the bright light. I wanted to ask what was happening but the light disappeared leaving me calm.

I wasn't familiar with this feeling. It made me feel brand new. It made me feel like everything is going to be alright. It made me feel safe. The heaviness in my chest was gone.

I wanted to question this feeling but I didn't have the urge to do it. I feel refreshed. I feel calm. I feel new. I feel...

Free.
