There are grudges inside me
etched so deep,
you'll find my heart dancing to
the rhythm of those tragedies,
there is faith in this world incomparable
to your comprehension
and you are never spared from
doubting your own in a mishap
you juxtapose your past to future
but love exists only in those 100s of your delusion,
you look out for me in each of them
but do you actually remember my presence?
you wear exquisite white sweaters
and my only warmth is chiffon,
you are afraid to get yourself tainted
while my body is made from sand,
you pull a thread and I am naked to drip on your weaved wool,
my innocence is filthy in contrast to your credence,
my identity left, a snag
I am standing right beside you
and you never look at me,
my periphery senses you
but my eyes are fixated on the ghost of you,
which was in my past,
'do you remember how the blues of our paint
brushes clashed?'
'do I even remember you at all?'
my heart knows the love you could give
but my virtue is to deny myself out of gratitude,
there is so much that captures me in the pit
it's apalling really,
but you cannot liberate me from my terror
and even if you do,
you will lose against yourself.
