Out of the Dark

 It wasn't love at first sight
The first time I laid my eyes on you
Or was it?
It's just that I'm not aware of.

How did it all happen?
Or was I too blind to see the sparks.
Til it got all burned up
Leaving embers in the dark.

And so I tried to reignite it
Like the coals blown by the winds.
But the dead cannot rise
Even with a thousand oxygens.

And so I get up to leave 
Every whispers and prayers to the stars 
Told myself - by all means, carry your bags
And find your way out of the dark.
