For Now

While passing by a river,

I saw you through the mist.

Walking in the shadows,

seeking solace from the destruction of my life.

You seemed so out of place.

A hallow place of calm,

in the mayhem of the forest.

I was drawn to you,

and so my stay began.

Sitting with you in the abyss,

I was not searching for an escape.

I hid with you in the depths of midnights for so long,

I lost my sight.

The world in which we lived was nothing, but empty.

I desired to give every ounce of myself to your darkness,

but I wasn’t brave enough to part with my own life.

The moment I opened my eyes,

you vanished.

And so I was again, beside the river, in the forest of chaos, alone.

I had always been alone, though,

for you were merely the loss of hope within myself.

Sometimes, I still hear your voice when I walk beside the river.

Whispering to give my life to you.

Though, I travel on,

for now.
