The loneliness creeps in again, as my mind fills with doubt. Pain is back from its temporary leave, well rested and prepared. I feel so empty, yet I'm back in my familiar world. Darkness encumbers me, I was standing, now I'm down. I want more than anything, to feel permanently free of this weight I carry. It hides in the shadows of my happiest days. Waiting, watching. I've been waiting too. for something, anything to set it off. The pain is back, the vacation was so long. I had hoped the strings were severed, but to hope is to want too much. The bags are unpacked, its here to stay, for now. I prepare for battle once again against an enemy that will never die. |
