POETRY TIME: Home Alone WIth You (an original poetry)
It's poetry time once again, and let me share to you a poem I made yesterday. The title of this poem is also the title of the manhwa from which I got my inspiration from. I hope you like it!
HOME ALONE WITH YOU
Peaceful yet solitary, away from all the mess
Since the day I have lost my will to live
I have long forgotten how to truly breathe
What was my reason for living?
The world I'm in is never forgiving
I am here... yet in isolation
Learning how to survive in seclusion
And yet, a stone disturbed the stillness of my water
Patiently and carefully, as if my situation didn't matter
You have introduced light to my darkness
Will you also be able to fill up my emptiness?
Selfishly, I attached myself to you
But along the way, my worries also grew
What if your brightness blinds me in the end?
It will absolutely be a wound impossible to mend
When my past haunted me once again
I could no longer stand the sorrow and pain
Even with you, I felt myself shatter to pieces
Tears flow unceasingly; my anxiety increases
You held me tight close to your heart
Your heartbeat calmed me; didn't want to part
You whispered words full of care and assurance
I'm slowly discovering my existence' significance
Slowly, I took a step in the present; leaving my past
But surely, happiness isn't bound to last
I discovered a truth about the man who I thought has saved me
I tasted defeat and bitterness; is this how it should be?
You weren't here to save me; but to cure your own loneliness
You used me... I once again found refuge in the darkness
But in the end, it wasn't all for naught
"Live again" for me, that's what you taught
I swallowed my pride and braved the light to follow you
The you who was also waiting to be saved and start anew
With you by my side; I'd no longer walk alone
Hand in hand, we moved forward to a world unknown
