"Did you ever wave and not get a 'hi' back?
Did you ever search for the light and only find the dark?
I don't think so—cause when the darkness hit me in a flashback,
I opened my eyes and I was alone at sea like a lost and lonely kayak".
There were no more 'hi's'
No lows and highs,
I fell and couldn't arise—
From where the pain had dropped me in my demise.
There were no more votes,
A hundred followers silent like oaths
Given for incidents that make good anecdotes.
I feel like I lost everything: love, life, the poems and evening skies and the notes!
On my knees praying, I whispered to father,
"Don't let me let you go yet, teach me to hold on for I would rather—
Die for you than hold unto a ladder
That will break upon receiving me thereafter".
Upon opening my eyes time laughed scornfully at me
As the clock ticked and tocked reminding me that I was now an amputee,
Carefully broken and broken again with glee,
Leaving me bound yet free.
So I asked myself, where was I to flee?
I stepped into the streets running into the rain pattering loud–
And a poor girl who was so beautiful she left me 'wowed'.
One second I could feel the noise, the air, the music and the people, I felt proud—
Then, suddenly it all vanished when I saw her face, pretty and a bit ploughed!
I gave chase, the cold splitting my temperature aloud
But I lost her...
I also lost the feelings that I had allowed,
The music, the people, the pride, it all vanished.
Once again, I was alone in the crowd.
