Quite like the time has stopped,
Crowded places are as quite as a ward in a hospital,
As if you turn deaf and the rest of the world seem to walk away,
When you scream, but no one ever heard of,
When you left to cry alone,
Like the heart that has a wide empty space,
I’m terrified…
Have you ever felt pain?
An amazingly unexplainable pain,
The pain that you could feel in each and every part of your body,
Not a single part is left behind,
As if you are stabbed with uncountable knives,
When the heart feels suffocated,
Leaving you unspoken,
You can’t seem to explain it with words,
And you have no idea how to shake the feeling off,
Because it feels like your heart has been shattered into pieces,
No matter how much you try not to feel it,
I’m terrified…
What should i do ?
Is there even anything that i can do ?
I’m terrified…
I want to fly far away from all of this feeling…
I have promised myself,
Although, not now…
The red thread has been tied tightly to the pinkie of my hand with the pinkie of the happiness’ hand
And at the end of this road,
I’ll hold that happiness close and tight, forever.
