Cracks of the Void

Heartbeat skips, for the words spoken aloud, are the only ones able to be said without ridicule. True feelings run deeper than those of the roots of the eldest trees, though these thoughts must be kept away, silently spoken, blocked by the truth.

Time, ticks slowly when apart, quickly when together, racing at the thought of a new life. Memories made even though the days have been short, the essence of time sits idly, waiting for the moment for the truth to become visible.

Emptiness. Beds, thoughts, arms, especially that of my heart. Something feels off as if the notion of a false reality becomes the truth. Hiding away, fearful of the next step, fearful of the last, panic, paranoia, isolation.

Sounds become louder, even if they are nothing but a whisper. Everything must be heard for the truth to become a reality or would such a thing be better off hidden? Negativity returns, dread, pain, though not physical. Am I being heard?

A new chapter is being formed, at the cost of happiness. Though, the feeling does begin to return as time passes. Such a feeling, almost foreign in a plain that has been so horribly unkempt, so damaged by the natural disasters of other beings, yet the positivity returns, dim, almost cautious to being revealed.

The light finally breaks through, a hard shell, cracked to allow the sliver of light to shine. The darkness, no longer the focus of surroundings. No longer will be the focus. Happiness. Is this what the word truly means?

Free of ridicule, pain, disappointment. Harsh waves of anger have subsided and all that is left is the damaged sand upon the beach, and with time will slowly return to its flat state of peace.

Time, now passes too quickly, unable to be grasped for a fact of reality. Emotions are growing strong and finally, a grip is found and grounding occurs. Time begins to slow once more, a steady pace to be kept.

Mutual. That is what has been reached. The light can only spread as the cracks have begun to cave, no longer able to be amended to keep the darkness within.
