I wake up to watch the sunrise.
I go to my window, I sit, and I wait.
I watch the horizon take on that misty glow
That looks as if the air itself is fluorescent.
______________________________
The undersides of the clouds turn blood-orange,
And the birds begin to stir in their woven homes.
The great spherical light arises over the hills
And lights up the darkest corners of the world.
______________________________
That’s when it hits me.
I’m alone.
No one to light up my darkness within.
No one to hold me close and melt my steel heart.
No one to hear me weep at night.
______________________________
I imagine she’s here with me.
I tell myself it’s all fine, and today will be great,
And that someone does care.
I just need to find them.
______________________________
The sun flickers, sparks, and dies.
My body is overthrown with cold.
My room melts away,
And I fall into the dusty blackness.
______________________________
Sweating and screaming, I sit up.
Another nightmare in a vast ocean of horrors.
When will this end?
This amalgamation of terror gives my mind tremors
And shakes me down to my rusting core.
All I can do is stare at the ceiling
And slowly wait for the light of dawn.
