The tears have dried on their own

and the fear has departed, unwinded slow

the burning under foot has been stamped out

leaving a wake of ash that was once my heart

crushed beneath the wings of love

you scolded one too many times

for me to mend myself anymore

i am now just a spectator in my own life

watching the blur of movement

through concrete eyes

my footprints evaporate like i never walked there

right out from my very shoes

in the land of traumatized affection

broken obsession i held with you

colours twisting in demoralized vision

pictures of us in a woven frame

why can i not just forget your name?

banging in my memory

but it doesn’t touch me like it used to

i feel i have fallen numb

into my dissociated worlds

you destroyed all confidence of mine

the reality of you defined my anxious hands

no longer do they part with shakes

the distance i have taken from the loss

and the hatred in your fragmented eyes

i have dropped it all behind

without trepidation there is nothing to contain me

dead weight to hold me no more

for to forget your rejection

is to reject myself as well
