I can remember vividly,
The moments spent by your side,
The smile on your face and echoes of laughter at moonlight,
I could still remember the way your voice sounded,
I could remember it all that now it hurts.
And then it all came to a halt,
The light that filled your eyes all gone,
It felt like a void that couldn't be filled,
And it hurts so badly that makes me cry endlessly,
That I can see and feel the hurt in your heart.
I could not just feel it,
But I could also hear it.
The strange sound that left your lips,
The tears that filled your eyes without no voice heard,
I could hear it all, but there's nothing I could do to help.
I was not religious, or so I thought,
But with you, I was willing to bear my heart out to the walls,
Hoping they'll hear my voice and whisper to your ears,
And that you can be saved knowing that I care.
But I know that can't occur unless it is just a dream,
In fairy tales, it may be achievable,
But reality speaks differently,
And knowing that much tears my heart to pieces.
The agonizing pain, the yelp,
The closing of the eyes when you hear the sound of the belt,
The fear in your eyes, body, and soul,
I can feel it all, and I just want you to know,
That you are not alone and I care for you,
And deep inside, I hope this poem gets to you.
This is my response to Blockchainpoets Contest on the word, agony.
Still yours truly,
Balikis.
Thanks for reading.
Peace be unto those who crave it and more to those who chase it away.
