i lost myself
trying to find you
and now i wander
the streets
looking for your face
i do not want to see.
i sleep with my lenses
so my eyes burn
in the morning
and walk in a haze
so that every step
fades.
there is no room
left for you
in a world
where every day
is a war
so i make war
to forget you.
i fought for you
until my heart
gave out
and now i lie
empty
on the ground
waiting for you
to save me
but you will
never come.

Beacon of Goodness.
In the dim corridors of existence, Where shadows stretch and doubts creep, There shines a solitary light, A beacon of goodness, A steadfast flame that flickers bright Against the encroaching gloom, An ember of hope amidst the darkness.

Second Tuesday of November
No one knew how the event really started. Between a few beverages at the bar, maybe? Notes passed carefully on the street? Or, perhaps a secret meetup at early hours of the day? Whatever the root source was, we were here now on the second Tuesday of November. Nervous, but also absorbed by the allure.
