Alone in the darkness
I sit in complete quietness
Listening to that voice
I long portrayed as noise
A loving kindness
Hiding behind emptiness
A forgotten whisper
I drowned in liquor
In fear of losing
Out of spite and longing
My inner child
Abandoned in a pile
Of my past hurts
And painful concerns
Nostalgia of my happiness
Pure and innocent
I was able to be with myself
Until recurrent nightmares
Of behaviours
And strangers
Whom possessed the desire
to light a fire
in my mind
I now am blind
Because of them
And so called friends
There is no more brightness
As the light in me became darkness
