The Dark Never Forgave Me

I thought it was over.

The night whispered—

fall into me.

Let the cold take you.

Let the silence finish the rest.


But somewhere,

a small voice, almost gone,

said—

keep something.

Not much.

Just enough to hurt.

Just enough to burn.


Even a dying ember

can set the dark on fire.


I kept it.

And the dark has never forgiven me.

VOID

 Empty. Empty of mind. Empty of heart. Empty of everything. There’s nothing left in me. I want someone — anyone — to fill my heart with feeling. Any feeling. It doesn’t matter what kind. I just don’t want to feel… Empty. Because this emptiness reminds me — I’m not alone. I’m lonely. I walk through the dark night of this world, searching for something to hold. My hands — empty. Maybe there’s a torch in them. Maybe there’s a thought in my head. Maybe. Maybe. But I don’t feel it. I don’t see it. My mind — void. My heart — hollow. I stare at my book. My own heart, written across pages. Feelings live there — but not in me. I tear the pages. One by one. They remind me: ache. pain. memory. The paper makes a sound, like it wants to speak. But my heart doesn’t listen. My mind doesn’t care. I rip every page. Now, only nine white pages remain. And in my hand — a black pen. I grip it tightly. And I scribble: VOID.

To Live Like a Ghost

One day, you finally go away. What I had to do—faded out in front of eyes that searched for you. In absence. In presence. The moon disappeared. The room tightened with silence. And I watched the old you in the rain. “Hold her,” each voice cried inside me— but I let you go. I didn’t know what I had to do. The wind hummed like your voice before it turned harsh. And my heart dug deep just to stay with you. It was too late. Enough. And a wild truth— you were no longer mine. Not even in imagination. Drop by drop, my eyes turned numb. My heart— an old hut where light slowly faded. Only your memory remains, saved in some quiet corner of my mind. My heart still opens— but not for you. All I can do now is live with myself, like a ghost.

The Room Where I Wait

I sit in a room where nothing moves — except my breath and a small memory that knocks like a stranger. The fan hums like a prayer I never learned. The walls don’t talk, but they listen. More than anyone ever did. I don’t cry. I just sit. Like I’ve always done. Like the chair knows me better than my own hands. Some days, I think the light left me. But then a soft breeze touches my face and reminds me — I’m still here. I’m still here.
