a year ago, i longed for the taste of happiness
a year ago, i let tears burn down my cheeks
a year ago, i clenched my fingers against the sheets
a year ago, i watched as the life of me disappear with a breath
a year ago, i stared at the mirror with blood stains
a year ago, my voice shook with your name as i called for you
a year ago, i called for you and you didn’t answer
a year go, my lips quivered for the touch of yours
but, that was a year ago
and now,
i am free.
