thE endlesS sleeP

They were running down my spine
Fast, steady and unbroken
The shirt had clenched my body in fear
Exposing the white skin underneath
I ran in haste, searching for him in the dark
That was the day when it was raining hard.

With a thudding heart, I was running around
Ignoring the puddles, mud crawling up my legs
It thundered again and I crawled aside
The crickets shouted in unison
"Hey lady! he has left you tonight."

I wasn't ready to accept
That it was happening again
The band-aids were falling apart
Making me bleed ruthlessly
Leaving the traces of blood, I crawled a little further
Tired but still dragging myself, to hear the murmurs.

I could hear him make promises to her
which he had once made to me
I was lying there silent with closed eyes
Tracing out last memory
The wounds were all open again, blood just won't stop
It was then when I decided to let my heart stop.

Water was carrying my blood all over the streets
I was letting myself sleep, for what seemed best to me
My life was moving down in the drains
Was I ever his love? the thought came
I wanted an answer, a truth or a lie
And before I could get up, my soul said goodbye.

My body is still lying on that street
I wonder if he had found me
Kissed me or hugged me
I wonder if he buried my corpse deep
Because I still love him with my heart n soul
Even in this never ending sleep.

  1. No words! Speechless! Your blog made me cry this time. As soon as I finished the last line, it wanted to make me blubber... writing the comment having wiped out the droplets of my eyes on the instant and wondering how could one be this much artistic. A philosopher, a guide, a writer (or should be said a creative writer :p), a motivator and what not.
    Can't dare to read the rest of 'kaleidoscope' ones for now, as I don't wanna break down again and struggle to get a solution for getting rid of severe emotions all night long.
