You think you have gotten away with it
The monster that lived inside you for so long
that brought you down
sucked all the light
killed all the joy
love and trust
But really it hasn’t gone
It still lives there
in the darkest niche of your mind
it likes to peek in
sometimes
when life throws you a curve ball
sometimes
for no good reason
it smiles at you
oh! that manic smile
which causes your heart to flutter
it is not at all a happy flutter
It’s the kind that
throws you off a cliff
and once again you find yourself
falling
your senses cease and your heart clenches
partly because you know how it felt the last time you fell
partly because you don’t want to feel that again
That’s when the smile becomes a laughter
and hits your ears
oh! that lunatic laugh
and that’s when you realize
YOU HAVEN’T REALLY GOTTEN AWAY!
