My heart needs a friend

beam or sparkle

By Kisama Riyo Published about a year ago 1 min read

My heart, I am in dire need of a friend

who understands me and helps me stay steadfast on a path that hinders

my movements and increases my longing and turns into longing

who races me all the way, searching for a way to fly

so snatch from the moonlight even a ray or a sparkle

who helps you advance towards a narrow path

or sadness informs you of the nature of the coordination

that you were forced to work on as a slave

who left my hand as a sick companion

after he also let me down as a friend

so what do I do to get rid of an enemy who cannot bear

my loneliness on that path?

and he kept chasing me until the sparkle left me

and after that I lost all that coordination.
