The warmth that used to hug me slowly fades,
caught by the darkness this sadness makes.

The phantom coldness that this pain etches,
clouded by doubts that we faked.

Those smiles that used to comfort me,
suddenly became the reason that I can't be me.

Those childish grins that used to paint us happiness,
became the underlying reason of a scary epiphany.

His stares that I once thought held the moon,
now shudders my soul with it.

Your love that once guided us together,
now suffocates our heart that it bleeds.

Since when did our love gone rotten?
It addled the truth that used to nurture us.

The 'us' that we once shared,
turned into screams of endless 'you's never 'me'.

Since when did your laughter became a nightmare?
my once favourite comfort becomes the root of all my terrors.
