To those empty tears....
In a smothered attempt
To shelter your shadows....
Your heart shuts away
My stealthy approach.....
In the misconstrued arches
Of a timeless wait....
As my eyes search yours
To seep into your thoughts...
The wafts of cold
A bittersweet familiarity
Freeze my emotions
To an invisible standstill....
And as I seek the curtains
Of nonchalant cowardice....
Staging a break free
From self imposed chains....
You look at me through the mirror
Emanating pinches of pity.....
Leaving me behind
As the forsaken one....
