It was a rush! a malicious jolt
that severed my tether to Hope.
An exhaustive pendulum swing
-between infectious joy-
-and loathsome despair-
that leaves the mind broken
and the soul withered
when the mechanism stops
on the wrong side.
The wonder of darkness isn’t
to be wandered for very long,
for the luster of happiness
is what beats through our hearts.
Yet here I am, --------I am here,
wading in other-worldly doom,
hoping to see Hope’s first rays,
holding my heart until it can
beat again.
