Craved Then Engraved.. Poem by alizay ahmed

Craved Then Engraved..

to a playground, to a hill
all you see is that growth
not that pain with that pill
with those habits, you pulled an oath

you craved, then engraved
though the desire came to obsession
by time, hidden in aggression

those words that were exchanged
gave a thought that you changed
the sudden reminiscence in your life,
remains what it's like,

you craved, then engraved,
everything goes blue
when words stab you
the deprived and despairing eyes
wasted from your cries
make you realize.
this is life, so I drown but survive.
