a penchant for darkness
as i gaze into you, softly,
steadily
i feel at ease with the surroundings
with you
my secrets are safe with you
you are my angel
my gateway into the world
only you, you alone can take this burden
be my playground
the garden where i bloom
the wind in which i soar
free
alive
you are the nemesis of the light
the reassurance
the calm and chaste
let me embrace you with open arms
you
the selfless companion
the long forgotten pal

how did things end up this way?
it is amazing, is it not?
that so many things can happen in 8 months
that one's soul and spirit can be broken and rebuilt, broken and rebuilt so quickly
along with one's hopes and dreams
along with one's stories and sorrows
along with one's fibres and constitution
and so things change
some more than others
some irreversibly
until it becomes surreal
when a story ceases to be a story
but merely a fleeting memory
when existence changes its state of presence
just like your soul has changed its form
the more you lose
dignity, respect, image, riches
the more you actually gain
love, freedom, happiness
and nothing remains dreamy
it is weird
it is unsettling
but it is not a paradox
because everything is finally real
as you hit the stone ground and experience the searing pain
only then do you realise that you are alive, flesh and blood
as the dream falls apart
only then do you see how beautiful the harsh present is
and then there is no longer a need to pine for the fragile future
the unnecessary
i cannot ask for more
because it is already impossible to keep everything as it is
all the things that time steals from us
