That I learned to empathize and care
It was in the darkness
That my heart spoke the best prayers

Enjoying a refreshing drink
Feeling drained by the sizzling midday sun
Relaxing and peaceful

Living fearlessly, my dear
The darkness cannot make me scared

Stay
Go! I screamed. Leave!
Start spreading the distance between you and me.
Why is all of this happening so quickly?
Go, I roared.
Stay I whisper…Stay
As I watched you walk away.

White is black, black is white
I don’t care about...

There's not much for me
to do now
except to sit here
and wonder how
I arrived at where I am today

A fleeting moment in time,
Is all I need for this rhyme,
Perhaps 10 minutes, no more
Sit in your armchair, close your eyes,
And to your utmost surprise,
Your life flashes past like an express train,

Love ones draw smiles on hearts
The beautiful days created are hard to wipe 
Great and happy moments stay longer than birthmarks

But what happens when you lose a love one? 
When you are...

I still recall those two large probing eyes 
Framed on somewhat lean-looking oval face 
That had failed to get fair feedback from me, 
Me, a shy guy in matters feminine 
In a temple of reading...

Maybe it was the effect of a memory....

A memory of maybe your voice that used to give me life.....
A memory of maybe your texts that helped...

Everyone's gone...
There's no one to look up to...not one...
Not one will be kind enough
To look down and attempt to help me...

With his companion, Loneliness, he whiles away the time
Rummaging through memories in the attic of his mind

A young man...
