You were once my friend

Please come back to me...

By Fiona De StefanisPublished 6 years ago 1 min read

Why do you escape me at night?

Why do you haunt me by day?

Without you limbs are heavy, mind is foggy.

Without you emotions are heightened, pains are deeper.

How long can you run?

How long can I chase?

You use to be my friend.

You use to bring me fairy tales and joy.

My body craves you.

My mind curses you.

It shouldn’t be this hard.

It shouldn’t dictate all.

I’m tired.

I’m hurting.

Please come back to me.

Please be my friend again.

1am. 2am.

4am.

Sleep.
