but — it's when we get a taste of happiness
that the trap of sadness comes in.
it reminds us
of what we are robbed
as time inevitably passes —
people going, moments ending,
relationships deteriorating.
the passage of time.
the sound of silence.
no laughter to fill an empty room.
no light to shine on the dark corners
of this hell that's called
my mind.
i ask for a little warmth, from the sunlight
that shines through my window pane
but my eyes burn as I sink deep into
the fact that it all ends, it all dies, we all die.
and maybe that is why
we look for a hand
to hold, if only just for a while.
you and i, me and you.
i don't want us to be lonely.
