Light
You leapt forward with clear resolve. Left me standing in the dark.
I mull over your departure. Review circumstances. My mind turns somersaults, not being able to comprehend.
It wasn’t me, you once said. Not even us. You tried to resolve battles within you. Past demons colliding with ideals you set for the future. Hope slipping into a void.
I offered you help. You refused.
Into the darkness I stare. Light beams from afar. Tempts me to look into a future I can make my own.
I’ll open the door. Be on my way. Knowing you won’t travel with me.
