Abby Dela Cruz

Surrounded by darkness,

I rise from the ashes.
...

They say time slows down when it comes to love.
They say reach high up above.
Every time I talk to you,
I know the world stops.
...

Sitting on the dark corner, wondering if I'm a loner.
Watching my reflection through a mirror, the reflection of terror.
Deep wounds in my skin tingles.
My body shingles.
...

Two spirits lost before the world.

No direction to where it may be lead.
...

My pain and sorrow lurks deep in my skin.
I try to hide it, but the pain thickens every day.
My eyes show full of guilt and sin.
I kneel down beside my bed and pray.
...

Every last breath I take is every last whisper I say.
Trapped in my own little world of despair.
Feeling the warmth in my body starting to fade.
My body starts to shiver.
...

I will love you till time ends.
I will trust you like we are best friends.
Nothing you can do or say will make me leave.
I know this isn't a fairy tale, just make believe.
...

Do you see that girl over there?
She sits at that corner with despair.
She cries and cries day and night.
Do you see that girl over there?
...
