Never Again
I still remember how things turned out,
When I had hoped for good things the last time,
When I had dreamt of roses and sunflowers –
Everything had shattered into pieces,
Fell to the ground,
And I spent centuries picking them up.
She had walked to me like a warm summer breeze,
And left me like the cold days of December
Leafless and all covered in white.
I was lost under the depths of snow,
Buried six feet under,
Frozen and numb to the core,
I was lifeless for a long, long time.
It took me an era
To pull myself up on my feet,
And walk this land again,
As the ghost of me,
Devoid and empty to my core,
Devoid of faith and love,
I’m just trodding on,
A mere skeleton of bones.
And although my soul is devoid of hope,
I don’t want things to get better,
I don’t wish to be happier,
I won’t fall for false hopes ever again,
I repeat to myself loud and clear,
Never Again.
