The dishes lie in the kitchen sink.
The unclean clothes in the dryer,
The coffee in the mug has gone cold
I can see wrinkles on it when I touch its surface .
There is a usual sigh here and there
But I don’t like to pretend and be heard
I cry. My soul cries. But no one hears me.
I don’t let them
It shatters me. Your absence
It tears me apart. Your hope
It strangles me to death. That thought…..
The tea pan is still on the stove; it’s empty now and is burning,
But you, you’re too far away somewhere to be bothered.
It’s dark, very dark in broad daylight,
It’s very lonely on the crowded street,
It’s very dim. The bright sun.
When there is no where for me to run….
Stop it! This wait.
It makes me want to live.
Kill it!! This time.
It forces me to hope.
I am battered and bruised,
Yet not a mark on me.
The outer me is flawless
The inner me, lifeless.
