The Doomed
Murkier than my thoughts,
Ear-shattering silence surrounds me
The pretense of closing my eyes,
The façade of calmness hides the ache of eons.
Emotional waves often engulf me,
Societal shears have claimed chunks –
My heart is no longer the same,
Having incised too many times.
Am I alive? You may surmise so.
Do they ever ask?
Who has the time to stand
And look into the eyes of the doomed?
My only savior – my muse steps in,
Kicks me out of my trance –
“Willow’s attire doesn’t suit you,” she whispers,
“Get up and drape the suit of spring.”
