Light

Soft light shines through an empty concrete wall;

It disrupts the line of shadows standing high and mighty,

Raising its invisible sword it strikes and strikes flashing brightly;

My hands unclench from tightened fists as I crawl,

Sharp pain stabs me in the back as I fall and fall;

Numbness spreads like a dawn over my body caressing lightly,

As fire burns my temple a war behind my eyes rages unsightly;

Hidden behind this mask is a weary who has given all.

Abandoned in a flightless and dark cage,

Forgotten in the outside world of light,

Loving those especially one forever;

Weaning myself of despair and hopeless rage,

My new life is full of terror and fright,

Promise me to let go and come hence never.
