Pang of Blood

47

Cristine Joy Dela Cruz

No one knows how it feels Every day struggling with a fear That one day you won’t come back Instead, a whole feature I will got

When there are moments that I can’t feel your presence My mind is floating in the midst of absence Wandering a human in the middle of the universe But how it made sense?

Once a month we meet in the most unexpected time You surprised me with your endless cry My heart shattered, can’t fix it with just a smile But then, you smiled. And everything subside.

Although you only bring pain I will never let you go away again Once you stopped, a newborn will come out In the most unexpected moment, my life drop out.
