Here is an English translation of my poem “Όταν ο χρόνος σταματά” which you can find in its original form in the Greek poems category. Enjoy and stay safe!
* The world is an enemy, became transparent ash. I, too, an enemy I leave without a glance Cut Eyes Dripping The sob alone grows old in the bones the marrow slips Another world rules here I am not. I was a shadow I am far away Nowhere In foreign places I reside, in other lands as the sun rises, I condemn the day Time is the enemy forever, I want to sleep This slumber is of amber untouched, unspeakable, empty I dream, I do not wake up. I die on soil as I breathe, I regret.
Vall.Grey poetry 
I’m sure that this poem is even better in its original form. Translations are always difficult.

I believe many people can relate to the emotions you describe in this poem; I certainly can. You write with such rawness, honesty, and creativity, of course. 💖 I used the word amber in something I wrote today. A gorgeous color!

Wondering whether sometimes, meeting a fellow traveller in the land of enemies can soften the edges.
Sometimes kindred words can catch us like the touch of home in a place where home had started to feel like a fugitive thing.
Sometimes when I stop, hide myself in some rootless place, words like yours start re-lighting all the old abandoned candles…
…much appreciated.
