Backwards

ailgattaB eeL .C :yb nettirW


I woke up,

To a dark sky

That had no stars

That had no moon

All there was,

An empty bed

Nothing was the same

Everything was tilted,

And backwards

It was as if

The whole world…

STOPPED

I woke up,

Hoping for you

To always be…

Around

Now you’re gone

And out of

My life

I’m upside down

Everything is lopsided

my whole life

Just turned…

Backwards

Nothing matters

Anymore.

Just let me be

Don’t try to fix

What you already

BROKE

I am destined

To go

backwards.

The structure ans the short sentences create a nice confusing atmosphere... it leaves many questions open... and I think that's the feeling you wanted us to get: feeling confused and having questions with no answer... so well done!
