A sound escapes.

Something I wrote when I was around 15 lol

Adrenalin, as your words reach my ears.

The soft tone of your voice tells me what I want to hear.

I’ve come out of the darkness, to only stay a while.

soon emptiness will find its way to fill up what was hollow.

Why, so fast, does happiness seem to fade?

Feels like I'm afraid to move.

Seems like the joy might seep through.

I'll hold my breath, try to keep it in.

Rip out this feeling and capture it in a tin.

Save it for a time when I need it the most.

Save it to destroy my lingering,

                                    broken,

                                             ghost.

But for this time and place, I am now quite content.

Until I'm left with somberness again.
