As I open the door that I had closed long ago
Regret remorse and bitter sadness burn like acid deep into my soul
War raged for many years
I fainted for lack of hope
I was conquered by the darkness
A Prisoner of whom I did not know
My fight was fought in vain
Awakened by a moment of clarity
While lying in the rain
Only to find a space in time
That was no longer mine
Consumed in fear for knowledge
Of what I had become
Truth grabbed my heart with both fists tightening as I cried
What had happened to everything I knew
My light and truth had died
A blinding pain rebuked vision from my eyes
My spirit screamed at the sight of me
Demanding an answer as to why
I knew at that moment that light had left my side
As I mourned and loathed my very existence
Knowing I could no longer hide
A heart of stone softened by the tears that I cried
A warm breeze a caressing of hope
persuading me to forgive
And love myself again or maybe
For the first time…
