Life and loss

The light flickered and suddenly there was darkness.

Within and without.

It is not the absence of light but the darkness inside that was debilitating.

Stillness.

As empty as a womb after miscarriage of a full term fetus.

The promise of life, snatched.
Silent screams, eyes looking for answers.

Trauma & despair

Twisted minds.

Distilled love. Transactional relationships.

Oft we become side characters in our own stories, watching the drama unfold.

When you lose control, it's never rewarding to hold on to the past.
