Sorrow

What else could I take, my 
being, so weak to welcome 
you.  You came with no 
announcement, I thought, I 
was ready.                          
You were at the door looking, I  
thought, I could escape.          
You scraped my way empty, I 
was renewed.                           
You purged despair, I learned.     
Who else to accompany me in 
my darkest nights. We danced 
to the tune of my secrets and 
guilts. You flashed the 
snapshots of my embittered 
memories, one that I regret, 
another I craved so I must 
forgive.                                      
You lulled me with loneliness 
and shaded my days with 
darkest colors, each color I 
embraced.                          
You cleansed me with tears, if 
weeping was meant to be.            
You braided my vulnerability, to 
create rope of strength.            
I abandoned myself to you, I 
never questioned.                  I 
I acknowledged you, there you 
fled without a word.
