In the darkest corner of regret,
Resides a sliver of my former self
She smiles,
She laughs
Everything I cannot...
The doctors who watch me
Through the panel of reality,
Say I should be fine,
It was only a phase
But I tell you it's not
Yes, my sliver, I remember now
She is still with me
Arms spread out wide,
Coaxing me to take hold of her embrace
I must, shouldn't I?
It would bring me back,
To you and warmth
She came closer,
Her steps slow and steady,
Until we were face to face.
Her smile was bright,
Mine was grim
I did not want to go,
I liked being blank
But this was for you,
I promised unfortunately,
And I always keep my word
