How many times did I say \u201cyes\u201d?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Like sparkles climbing up my legs
that you don\u2019t know where they came from.
Suddenly they were all over my body:
in my hair, entering through my eyes,
settling in my brain,
sailing through my veins.
Without meaning to, I swallowed them.

They stuck to me,
entered my digestive system,
but they didn\u2019t dissolve.
I thought there would be no adverse effect:
a sparkle can\u2019t hurt\u2026

A flash blinded me.
My eyes had turned to glass.
I looked at the ground, and there it was:
the darkness I feared so much
seemed like the only option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fear of the unknown blinded me to the path,
the emptiness of a \u201cno\u201d froze me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Forgive me, love.
But not anymore.
