won't come back
"what your biggest fear?"
reads the paper above.
you remember the ache in your chest,
not a few months back
when you had spiraled down and slipped through the cracks
you remember the down you had hit years ago
the doctor said it would come again
it turned to be a fact
but this,
this was different.
you began stumbling...no falling
falling worse than you ever imagined
you gave in piece by piece
think you're paying a game
brutally, it caused more pain
a game you fought
now your mind is lost
sadness formed into self-hate
which became rage then begins to fade
the cycle repeats.
over and over again.
you think of everything you lack
soon you think you can't come back.
days turned to weeks and weeks into months
you begin to see the sacrifices,
and unconditional love
the support you so longed craved
you discover it was always there
you were once again, saved.
you tell yourself,
'this won't happen again'
you said that last time but,
you're afraid that next time you won't come back.
