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.
