I've sat alone For hours or days? I do not know Who goes or stays. I've paid no mind To the lost souls. Strangely I've heard it all Though no one surely knows. I've been watching the streets Watching the dying crowd. I wish I'd joined Yet I'll watch from my cloud. The sun sets While darkness closes in. Another day passed Again the night will win. The night flickers As she walks by. How could I have missed This woman so coy and shy? I'm captivated Those eyes a wonder. Forever I've waited To catch looks of splendor. The lights die As he skulks by. I watch his face Contort with confusion. His thoughts poison Venom without a reason. His hands flashed His scowl gone. Steps quicken As he ran on. My angel Fallen below. I've watched her fall I'm the only one who will know! I've watched her pain In the quick flash of steel. A heartless thought Causing a hate so real. I cannot escape I cannot rescue her. The broken thoughts Kill all that was sure. I'm stuck here Away from the scene. Every single fear Chasing the horrors between. I've been locked away for years I've been dying forever. I remember her screams I remember the nights saviour. It was I that night Locked away from the world. It was my fault As I watched the dying girl. It was my faith That let her die. The scowling wraith Bled her dry. No reason Has ever been told. No reason For me to grow old. I fell in love with the chase And not the mystery. Who erased her face Who sent me into misery? I'll find you I'll kill you. I'll meet you I'll save you. Someone had to die By my hand. She'll no longer cry For its not as I planned. Show me where the heart is. I've travelled from the start. I'm almost done. I'm almost...

Thank you. I'm overjoyed that you appreciate my poem. I'm starting to write again, and I'm glad I can still relate to people after all I've been through. However tomorrow is another day and we must look on while making the past into a piece of art.
