amongst the shadows which lie before my steps, i inhale the drug forced upon me....i wander in a world exclusive to the one chosen for me...senseless words uttered....painful memories loom...i stand shakily as i am in the midst of the haze. they walk towards me, their monstrous presence before me...
i wait for their questions...they wait for my confessions.
no, i say..i shall not speak, i say.
yes you shall, they say as they roughly impose their superiority on my melting soul...
i stammer an answer, once again..
the effects of the drug arise..
i spin, my restraint dying. i fight.
remain upright, i repeat to myself.
i will.
i will stand.
i will, all in their presence. i shall be saved.
she will return, i say.
she will.
i wait.
and i wait...
i desperately cling to myself and her promise but they step closer.
we will save you, they say.
she will come.
come with us, they say...
one more step.
shes coming, i scream. she promised me she would...
and once again, they move...
a hand grasps my shoulder.
shes come, i say. but has she?.
she will not come this time or ever again, they say...
i give in reluctantly as my knees buckle under me...as my breath subsides...as my thoughts dissolve.. i sing to God.
a song for all history...a song for all existance..
eye-lids forcefully come down...i mute myself. and then, i make my way out of the fantasy i live in...
i realise that she shall not return.
she said she would.
my apologies, my child. she lied.
they take me to a world of their own...a world unknown to me...a world where she doesnot exist.
a world where none speak of her.
my world today.
a world i donot want to leave. my home. my haven away from her. my sanctity. my reason for sanity.

All beacause of those parting words she had whispered in my ear....

did you write this? I'm not huge on poetry but I enjoyed reading it.
