Thank You

Dear Friend,

Hello. It's been awhile since I had a heart-to-heart talk with you. I've been unconsciously missing those lovely times. Therefore it was a a huge relief that I was able to lay down the burden that has been oppressing me these few days. No one could fathom how sad and down I was. No one could see that behind the blaring earphones was a deaf monotone that only I could hear.

Thank you, therefore, for speaking out. For making the first move that eventually pulled me out of this confusing pit of self-pity and all the petty worldly issues. I hope the story doesn't turn round on itself. Because I treasure you and will not want you to experience the same thing as I did. Forget your burden as well and anything that upsets you, I am here and always, always will be. I will be your floating raft in the thunderstorm, I will be your friend in all the misery. All you need to do is speak out.

Once again, thank you.

With all my love,
Your faithful listener.

The things I see before I fall asleep

Charred lights from the street lamps

Creeping in through the curtains

Forming broken shadows on the barren walls

Dancing fingers in a riot

What I saw in the dark became darkness itself

Messing up my lovely bedtime thoughts.
