Eyes Opening


Through the recent everythings

I’ve come to see

The things I planned turned to nothings.

I cannot be me

In a fairytale ending

No children, no husband

Alone in the finishing

My finger absent of a diamond

I will perish

Without leaving behind a family

But the people around me I will cherish

My heart is a lock with many keys

I cannot prevent myself

From feeling love, empathy, adoration

If within a cessation

Of emotion occurred

I would be free

Form pain and agony

Yet they would burn

And yearn for more

My body, heart and soul, a shell;

A body from hell.
