Ground confined
Losing hope is easy,
When you find yourself alone.
I fear now,
I have atlast become a fragile bird.
Clinging onto the gap between
Death and misery.
I lost all my feathers,
The day you had no words to trade with me.
Ground confined I became,
Dodging heavy footsteps,
Of lovers passing by.
I now shiver in my fever ridden dreams,
Although you sleep beside me,
I’ve never been so cold.
Your wind embrace shook me free of my leaves,
Before I had a chance to become a tree.
So I stand alone,
A helpless skeleton,
No one to seek shelter beneath my pathetic arms,
I cannot even shade myself from the harsh rays of neglect.
Pushing my trolley through the love starved veins of the city,
I scavaging for all the pity they can give.
Using my in stained fingers,
I dig my own grave in this tear stained soil.
Your silence will murder me.
Really great job, there are some powerful emotions here. The silence is always deafening, isn’t it?
its the worst ):
