After Midnight
I could only watch it disappear
I couldn’t evolve as it did
From a distance I see
The world that has walked away from me
I turn in my grave though I am undead
“Worth” has never seemed “less”
Worry has wrapped itself around my neck
I am as a spider that is caught in a net
The darkness reveals every ounce
With me, sleep was renounced
While others snored and forsake their troubles,
The darkness foretells my earthly worries
Afflictions are magnified four times more
In this hour of ordeal
How difficult it is
to be deprived of a kiss
A nightmare came alive
In this moment, I am nobody’s wife
Like a dog who eats the remnant of bones
I am extremely alone
I worry not about my health
As six feets under, no pain will be felt
I anticipate the day when agony is no more
Happiness will no longer hide itself for sure
