You're so forsaken -- The creature that’s gnashing its teeth, feeding off the light that lives within. A sharp intake of breath, searching for a shred of confidence. As you quiver and shiver where no one sees, Crushing anxiety brings you to your knees. That aching clawing from deep within- that devours and never fades. Your pulse pounds beneath your flesh, A bitter taste as your blood boils. There’s no rhyme or reason, only the madness that erodes your sanity. You had a chance - it was all your choice Paradise laid before you for the taking Only a fool would watch it slip away Embrace the void, for all you’ve forsaken Screaming, panting Scratching, clawing The veil is falling Worn, torn, frayed Don’t you see it? Fractured, scared Broken, bruised Lazy laughter, Haunted eyes Groggy, foggy, Half awake, Barely conscious For heavens’ sake, Echoes, dreams Nightmares, Screams, Wailing, flailing Scurry to survive, No way to thrive You think you know But you don’t. Feel the loss, know what you had. Let it go, kiss it goodbye. It’s never coming back again. Today is gone, forget tomorrow. Now feel the weight of all that sorrow. You let yesterday die while in your keeping. Blissfully ignorant, like you were sleeping. You had a chance - it was all your choice Paradise laid before you for the taking Only a fool would watch it slip away Embrace the void, for all you’ve forsaken You waited too long, it was there within your grasp Undone by your hesitation, your forever forsaken [copyright © 2026 Kiki Kutie — unauthorized use or reproduction is prohibited]
