Excellence Award in the 'Spread The Word 2017' competition

Day came, night stays.
The sound of silence deafens my ears.
Every heartbeat hurts.
Soulless, guilty, faded away.
I sacrificed myself for happiness.
I once blossomed but that surely died.
Everyday day a petal fell and perished.
My soul thrives no more.
Alone once again,
Surrounded by shadows,
Surrounded by death.
My tears drown me as they slowly fill my trap.
I had fallen.
