You're going forward,
immersed with your new love.
Yet I'm being pulled back,
towards a place I have already been.
But this time it's black, and I,
I gamble with a broken compass.
The more I try to escape,
the darker it becomes.
Now, the only speck of light
has slipped away.
Now, my feelings match my reality.
Empty and alone.
Lost and afraid.
- Zizzy M.
