And then I find it hard to comprehend. How can I walk another step, why am I in this distress. The wound bleeds incessantly, now I am a loser in this battle for dreams. I care no more for presentations. I care no more for beauty. It's pain that u see adorning me now. The torment of the night gone by, Is the kohl now underlining my eyes The scent of forgotten letters clinging to me. My lips red not with paint but blood, as I chew them to keep my cries unheard While the twigs stuck in my hair, are due to the times I had to run away in despair. I'm a candle now, no more lit, The wax has melted away, Just a burnt wick in the mercy of the wind.
