As I walked down the dark road of flowers my heart begin to beat and yearn for relief, it feels like I’ve been holding the cold of winter in my heart for it was not warm but cold, I reach out to the sky as the star reflect my sadness for the stars shined like the tears that bleed from my eyes. “Is this a punishment for my mistakes oh dear make it go away for I have sorrow night and day” I yearned for the touch of light for I walked this lonely road as I look at the field of flowers all I can think of is the beauty it must feel when the sun blesses the touch, its unfair I lay down looking at the sky and close my eyes then I felt this touch of light for it grazes my cheek I open my eye to see a little orb, I grew mad and yelled “Why haven’t you came to me when I needed you why have you forsaken me why did you leave me” it didn’t respond but it gave me the look of pity its funny really as I weeped I grew even more mad when I was pushed back to the shell of who I used to be, I look around and saw the room they picked and laughed at me there faces filled with nothing but darkness as they laughed and threw things at my I ran away and saw a door, I opened it to see the girl I killed off years ago it killed me inside to see her I watched as if I was out of body as the shadow of a man violate her in the way that no gentleman should ever as i looked away i felt a force that pushed me to watch. Once it was over I walked to that bundle of sadness and hug it as it weeped then the world spun it showed me her again but she was a group of shadows who mimicked the other ones but this time they were aggressive they pulled, ripped and hurt the girl beyond anything anyone has seen i wept for her she laid there motionlessly as the group of shadows called over another group of shadows but you can see they were males, “Please don’t do this leave her!.” I roared but they couldn’t hear me. I started to wonder could even see me at all. I felt like a mad-man. I wanted to leave. I never wanted to be here. I’m scared “Why are you showing me this? Why, just what have I done!.” i was greeted with silence, but the room spun again and I saw the one I let go oh so long ago i saw the girl again but she look older I walked beside her and it was as if she could see me she was in a dim lit room crying out to the gods or whoever above “Why has this sadness linger with me am i cursed why has the pain and hurt never left for I’ve been done please steal it like a thief so i can finally be at peace…” I felt connected to the shadow for I believed we had something in common but before i knew it she took her knife that was there and slit the very essence of her life, it went dark again then this light showed itself to me I was enraged I lunged at the light and was pulled back by force i was scared as I was held in the air it dropped me, I couldn’t do it anymore I crawled into a ball and wept like a baby crying for it’s mother I felt nothing but hate and hurt but little did I know my skin was becoming dark like ash I was getting consumed into it.
I let I closed my eyes when the bright light touched and finally spoke to me for what felt like ages, “Let it all go my dear” and I did I was tired of everything I was tired of feeling like nothing I was tired of being nothing, and for the first time in what felt like forever I felt free the light took form of a woman who I knew but couldn’t see I hugged it and cried in joy for I felt the light I felt free when I started to go back as I open my eyes I saw the stars dance with moon as I got up I begin my walk again and I saw the flowers dance within the night I touched one and continue my walk to search for my path in this midnight bloom.
