The Quiet Between Thoughts

As the night came, the darkness felt so heavy and intense,

 

as if I carried the weight of the sky; whatever it was, it felt so dense.

 

A suffocating heaviness bloomed inside my chest.

 

unrest, shadowlight, torment.

 

Perhaps I should have lifted my gaze to the sky and prayed to God to guide my way,

 

bent, pleading, astray.

 

But the night felt like a hole.

 

It’s like a magnet attracting happiness,

 

like souls were swallowed by emptiness, wandering souls stuck to the ground,

 

forced to adapt.

 

My heart just feels so dry, like a post-war battlefield.
