Drip. Drip. Drip.

The sound.

Drip. Drip. Drip.

The chill.

Drip. Drip. Drip.

The darkness.

The overwhelming, overbearing darkness.

It overtakes me. It breaks me.

The overwhelming, overbearing darkness.

But then…

you came.

You went.

You came again.

You entered my life.

You broke apart my strife.

You gave me the will

to see it through.

I’m happy, so happy.

I’m ecstatic.

It’s over, the traumatic

experiences of life alone,

the horrific pain

of living like a drone.

Going on and on every single day,

forgetting what it’s like

to wake up without the fray

digging,

picking,

stinging

into my soul.

You’ve given me hope.

You’ve given me a reason.

You’ve given me a feelin’.

I can’t quite make it out.

And I can’t quite live without.
