Threshold

Locked within these walls, my days slip away Apathetic to the world's concerns, it seems I've lost my way Drifting aimlessly in an abyss of despair Each passing moment thickens the air In countless notes, I sought the words to express my soul Yet, on paper, they vanished, leaving me empty and cold With tear-stained cheeks, the ink faded from my grasp Unable to hold the pen, my heart dampened like a fallen leaf's gasp The piles of paper, reminders of my futile attempt I discarded them all, seeking solace in my final ascent Perched on a ledge, restlessness consumes my being Only photos on my phone, preserving memories I'm leaving The image of your departing silhouette etched in my mind The door you exited without farewell, the last mark I find Beyond that threshold, I am ready to embrace the unknown With weary eyes, I yearn for the day when you and I are again sown.
