I watch them.

A stroll to ease a relentless mind.

A smile faked, a laugh forced.

 

I watch them.

A bitter taste forever consuming the air.

A thought emplanted, a word repeated.

 

 

I watch them.

Squirmming under hot breath.

A future disintegrating, a plan devised.

 

I watch them. 

 

I take them.

Fingers grasped upon withering last hopes.

A hand reached, a prayer whispered.

 

I take them.

A heart breaks one last time for memories unmade.

A desperate scream, an ecompassing silence.

 

I take them.

A leap of faith transformed to free fall.

A sharp snap, a hanging rope.

 

I watch them.

I take them.

 

 

I am.

Whispered thoughts spoken into vulnerable souls.

A mind darkens, a happiness dulls.

 

I am.

The hidden poison that one can not escape.

An overwhelming blackness, An engulfing sadness

 

I am.

The unspoken taker of the innocent children.

An inescapable depression, the only solution.

 

I take them.

I watch them.

I am.
