'Green' Poem by Marie Joyce B. Negapatan

What is this lurking
Within me?
Consuming what is left
All the goodness I have in me

As your laugh echoes
In all the corner less sides
Of my lonesome heart
From a silly joke
I wish I can call my own

When senses transform
Into an ugly curse
Watching in silent resignation
How you finally made
A dream come true
Only with someone else
Beside you.

Imprisoned in insecurities
Overwhelmed by these emotions
Controlled by these inner demons
Slowly debilitating my sanity
Twisted by lies and assumptions.
