WHO COULD YOU BE

by desleeds   Aug 25, 2009


At every break of dawn

My soul wails from a faint heart

With unwanted thoughts of misery

A love not gratified by anyone else

Scratched and bruised

I hold my head up high

With the scars inside me

Audibly with sounds of loneliness

Your thoughts destroy my weary soul

Whilst trapped in my own prison

No way to escape the claws of sorrow

In the world filled with barren hopes

Oh how I wish I knew

That soul who broke me apart

Our destiny could be a mere illusion

A walk in silence with fate's decision

The joys of sorrow dwells in me

For it is only in sadness that I hear

The echoes of his elusive love

Only in darkness I feel the warmth

Of the love that I never knew

I wrote this short piece of poetry while I was in a ponderous mood. There were moments that I could not contain myself from wallowing in sadness. There seemed to be a vacuum that only something or someone else could fill the emptiness, but sadly, I had not the faintest idea of who or what could be. I am in love with love, a love magnified by empty thoughts, empty heart, and empty dreams, a love nurtured with piercing thoughts. Could it be filial love for my parents whom I terribly missed? Could it be love for my better half who owns my heart? If so, why would it be devoid of happiness? Could it be an offshoot of some failures? Only time can tell what is causing me such discomfiture. Whatever it is, let my heart indulge the love, surmising it is where I would find the answer to some burning questions.
