A fierce wind awoke me,
the clock struck once.
Somewhere within the voices provoked me.
My heart raced, my veins bulged.
Somehow I knew the time had come.
I raced through dark hallways,
tripping over my dark skelletons.
I raced through memories,
all too painful to see.
I reached the end,
the clock struck twice.
The door was locked
and you were gone.
Perhaps time was on my side,
perhaps my feelings were wrong.
I knocked once, twice-
but an answer- there came none.
I pushed through walls,
the clock struck thrice.
I ran until my lungs spat blood,
yet you were nowhere in sight.
I don't believe in God,
but that night I prayed:
I prayed that you'd be safe in sight,
I prayed for angels to guide you.
I raced through barriers covered in sin.
The clock struck for the very last time.
I kneeled in pain and screamed at Him.
He took my heart and shattered it.
'FATHER OF LOVE, FATHER OF SIN,
WHY HAS THOU FORSAKEN ME?!'
But silence greeted me alone.
My time stood still.
The clock was broken.
My attempts were futile.
You are gone and I am alone.
Alone with no love, no emotion, no reason.
Alone with no so called God, the all mighty saviour.
Author notes
This is for my friend who I lost to suicide.
If this is too religious.. Please tell me.
