An Elixir

I drink the Elixir and wish a wish.


It brings me my escape,

The thing I’ve longed for all my life.

But wait,

What’s this?

The magic I so craved for,

The peace that I wished for,

Brings in a silence that is deafening.

Is this what I asked for?

For the memories to flood me,

For the emotions to overwhelm me?

What do I do with this chaos?

This feeling that all is lost?

So I pick up the pen and write to myself,

A letter that ebbs the flow,

A letter about the wounds, the pain, the sadness, the isolation.

And bit by bit,

The wish was the wish I wished for…
