when you left,
I ended up lost
in the eye of the storm
bringing forth chaos
and destruction upon myself
and everyone around me.
I became the enemy
and yet the only hero
ought to birth salvation
lies within the cages
of my chest.
And so I drowned myself
in the conglomeration
of relentless winds and
rain made of tears
and wait for yet another
unbecoming corollary
I shall inflict upon me
until I become the storm itself
and bit by bit
I efface from the surface
of the everyone's idea of universe
to create a new beginning.
