Sincerely, Jennifer x

The shadows descended at dawn,

stealing the sunlight,

bursting inside me and snatching my heart with blood soaked hands.

The night nestles into the sky,

conquering the promised morning,

and I am in debt to darkness,

running from fate’s wrath.

I see the innocence inching away from my boy,

bundled into the entangled arms of cruelty,

and my sadness becomes another shadow,

following him until the day he dies.
