Bereft, Eternally captured in a second. Harsh breaths dying out in empty rooms, Mistakes that could not be foretold, Regrets buried down in aching bones. Dark stained souls pleading forlorn Asking for second chances never to be granted.

Desolation, The Void whispering its truths. Honeyed words and poisoned lips, Eternity or nothingness, Questions that ring without an answer, Hounding our every waking step. Alone, yet not, Isolated in a crowd of faceless strangers.
