​Freestyle

Awakened by warzones; it feels like an everyday occurrence nowadays. This intoxicating sun streams through my window, burning patterns all along the walls. Somehow, the empty shadows left behind are always the shape of you.

My soul begs for sleep, but failing to keep myself moving could be fatal. I’m forced to wander this empty house, searching for some sign or purpose to free myself from a cage forged by my past. In my search I found you. Your touch healed burns and scars I never knew I had. You pulled me in, and I forgot the world around me. A world that does nothing but assure my self-destruction; that once destroyed all the will I had left, until you restored it.

But it was you who left me here.

In my blindness and ignorance, I turned my back to the world that was burning all around me, that took everything I had once loved. In your absence, I finally understood that these flames were your creation, and the world around me had been waiting for me to put them out myself all this time.
